readonly boot


I just updated my fedora system, and now when ever it boots it runs kudzu, tells me stuff has been removed, jumps straight to runlevel 5, and can't start anything because the filesystem is readonly. Please note I didn't change anything(except for apache install(hacked?)) and I don't think its lilo. Is there a hardware write-protection for HDs?
