Same problem here. I managed workaround but wish to boot in standard
fashion. Here's what I do:

On silo prompt:
linux single (same complaining about fs type and read-only fs)
in single mode:
mount -o remount /dev/hda1
init 2
/etc/init.d/networking start (not always needed!?!)

After that everything works fine untile next reboot!
