Bug#257093: kernel-image-2.6.6-2-686: kernel will not load file system

[Jason Dorje Short <jdorje@users.sourceforge.net>]

Package: kernel-image-2.6.6-2-686
Version: 2.6.6-2
Severity: important

When I boot up in this kernel I can not succeed.  The eventual problem 
is that none of the modules can be loaded because of a "read-only file 
system".  But why can't a read-only kernel module be loaded?

I'd give a better report, but I can only see this when I set up grub to 
boot this image.

Some other relevant info:

1. I use grub not lilo.  I boot this kernel with

  kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.6-2-686 root=/dev/hdb1
    (I think I've tried with and without the root parameter)
  initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.6-2-686
  boot

2. I have used most other 2.6.* kernels, with grub in the same way, 
without any similar errors.  I use 2.6.6-1-686 right now.

  [jdorje@devon:~]$ uname -r
