Hi Martin,
The first thing I would check was my /var/log/messages and make sure I
wasn't getting some write error, or any error. My first guess is that
you have read-only access on some disk (wherever /boot is). I'm not
saying you set it up that way, but if your disk starts to fail, that's
going to be seen, and linux will switch it over to read-only mode to
protect the disk.
