After upgrading to kernel-2.4.4-6mdk, the boot process halts to single
user just after the "Checking file systems" message. It complains about
filesystem being mounted; which I traced back to fsck ... Anyway, after
a few minutes of troubleshooting I determined that the kernel is first
mounting the root filesystem as read-write instead of read-only as it
should be; and as expected, fsck complains, dropping into single user
mode.
I don't know why this is happening, or where to properly fix it. Is this
hard coded when the kernel is compiled, or is this configurable by lilo?
I fixed it temporarily by adding the following line to rc.sysinit just
before fsck is called:
mount -n -o remount,ro /
