I am trying to run a custom kernel with gentoo on linode64, but there's strange problem I'm facing. The root always gets mounted read-only, I don't know why. I have this line in menu.lst:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-3.1.6-gentoo root=/dev/xvda rw Also, the /etc/fstab line says: /dev/xvda / defaults,noatime 0 1 Everytime I boot with the custom kernel, the root is getting mounted as read only. The funniest thing is, even after proper shutdown, a disk error pops up on /dev/xvda, because I see the message during boot. Anybody knows how to get this thing working? I don't want to use linode's stock kernel, the xfs code in it seems to have some bug. -- Nilesh Govindarajan http://nileshgr.com
