One of our Linux images was booted on Monday for the first time since March. During the boot, we started getting error messages telling us that / was a read-only file system:
Waiting for device /dev/dasdb1 to appear: ok rootfs: major=94 minor=5 devn=24069 rootfs: /sys/block/dasdb/dasdb1 major=94 minor=5 devn=24069 umount: /sys: device is busy umount: /sys: device is busy VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly. Trying to move old root to /initrd ... /initrd does not exist. Ignored.

I've double-checked the 201 disk, and it's set to be R/W: DASD 0201 3390 V6SHR1 R/W 3338 CYL ON DASD 4217 SUBCHANNEL = 0003 Nothing else is accessing this disk. Apparently, SLES thinks / needs to be mounted readonly. Any ideas?
