I've had the exact same problems with the mm-sources starting with test9-mm4
to the current mm patchset. My fix was to stop using mm-sources until I can
convince Andrew Morton that there a problem in the patches. The latest
2.6.0-test11 sources has the basics of what I need all ready in it anyways.
It's not just ext3, it's whatever you use on root that get's mounted
read-only. The really odd thing is, under /proc/mount it clearly shows that
root is mounted .
The way to fix this, after booting, is remount the root partition with:
mount -t ext2 /dev/hda2 / -o remount,rw Remember you should alter this command
to fit your particular setup.
As a side note, the last, working mm-sources was 2.6.0-test9-mm2.
Cheers.
