else, likely you've messed up lilo.conf, grub's list or whatever bootloader
you have, to mount on / something else than the intended root partition.
Or your HDD is failing, errors have been detected and only / is mounted,
and stays ro. Try booting from a (Live)CD or a rescue FD/USB disk and
check the HDD and bootloader config.
