Not a lot of information there, but the message about the filesystem being read-only is telling.
You need to examine that drive/mount and see why it is read-only. It is possible that a drive error or filesystem error has resulted in it being mounted read-only for safety. It is also possible that someone or something has changed the permissions or mount.

Check the most recent boot logs and mesg data as a first step. If you cannot complete boot to do so, use a live-cd image or RHEL rescue boot to help you access files and diagnose the problem.

Read the "Question Guidelines" link in my posting signature. Saying "red hat" doesn't give us much to work with...what version? On what hardware? Environment? Physical or Virtual machine? ANYTHING???

Short answer: if it's old, you probably have failed hardware somewhere; as said, check logs and repair.
Longer answer: You're using RHEL...call Red Hat for support, since you should be *PAYING* for RHEL. Since you say it's an old version, and you have a failed server, take the opportunity to rebuild the server with the CURRENT version, pay for it, and get under support. Otherwise, load CentOS...either way, restore your data from backup, and move forward.

Can you at least get into maintenance mode? Boot single-user? What diagnostics have you done/tried, past taking a picture with your phone?

If I am not mistaken, isn't RHN dead now? Isn't RH using a different means to push updates to users? Agree - need to know version and since OP says "Old" and this is paid software, likely RH has cut them off.

That doesn't explain the boot issue but why is the "Red Hat Network" message circled in the upper, right?

RedHat may cut you off from support updates, but they do nothing that might stop booting. In other words, even if his server is long out of support that only affects his options, it would not cause a problem.

I am looking forward to seeing his update with additional information.

Good point, even M$ hasn't gone that far I don't think.

first sorry for short problem description and info i couldn't come up with a better one.


my problem was solved by doing the following steps:

1 - i get into maintenance mode / Boot single-user

2- remounting file system ( mount -o remount / )

3- force check all filesystems (sudo fsck -Af -M)

4- reboot

and now system works well & all it is OK

thanks everyone for help

i have another question :

i don't know should i open a new thread or i ask my question here

my question :

i have a red hat installed on another PC the PC reboot after doing shutdown command I tried many solution
but i cant find a solution
any help please ??


sorry for my bad language

Please use better punctuation like commas because it's very hard to be sure of what you mean here...
It's better to keep 1 thread for 1 main question.
Are you complaining that your PC rebooted instead of just being powered off? If true, did you use -r switch with shutdown?

you are ignoring multiple requests for more information.
please provide that first.
