Hi,
Im experiencing similar problem to the above:
fsck failed. Please repair manually and reboot. The root filesystem is currently mounted read-only.
To remount it read-write do:
bash# mount -n -o remount,rw /
I typed:
fdisk -l /dev/hda
and got sth like this(cant copy&paste):
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 448 ... 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda2 449 3876 ... f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/hda5 449 1112 ... 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda6 1113 1816 ... b W95 FAT32
/dev/hda7 * 1817 2591 .... 83 Linux
/dev/hda8 2592 3876 ... b W95 FAT32
I ve no idea whats wrong.
Can anyone help?

Hello,
I coudln't find grub.conf, but I guess that /boot/grub/menu.list is used instead?
Here is the menu.list content:
## ## End Default Options ##
title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.4.27-speakup
root (hd0,6)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.27-speakup root=/dev/hda7 ro
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.4.27-speakup
savedefault
boot
title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.4.27-speakup (recovery mode)
root (hd0,6)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.27-speakup root=/dev/hda7 ro single
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.4.27-speakup
savedefault
boot
### END DEBIAN AUTOMATIC KERNELS LIST
title Other operating system:
root
# on /dev/hda1
title Microsoft Windows XP Professional
root (hd0,0)
savedefault
makeactive
chainloader +1
Hmm I thought I found the error and changed to
root (hd0,7)
Now it doesn't start at all:
root (hd0,7)
Filesystem type is fat, partition type 0xb
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.27-speakup root=/dev/hda7 ro
Error 15: File not found

start ur system in rescue mode then run
fsck -y /dev/hda7
and
fsck -f /dev/hda7

Hi,
I wish I can start it in a rescue mode but last time I changed the entries I changed also the rescue entries options also
What can I do in this case?
O.K. I started a woody distrubition with resccomp root=/dev/hda7.
Then I could start fsck -y. Which helped. 10nx a lot.
Last question: how did it happen at all that it couldn't start ?
WinXP update ?
