Can't boot

[Jim Foltz <aa204@acorn.net>]

Hello,

After a communicator 4 crash, I hit the reset button because the pc was
locked up and the drive was grinding away. I know this is bad but what else
could I do?

Anyway, when booting up I get messages logged to the console saying thngs
like:
can't create file: /var/lock/... read-only filesystem.
and
logging to /dev/console.

I booted a rescue disk and ran e2fsck - vfpy on the drive, /dev/hda6 and it
complained a little but seemed to fix things. I also tried to run 

lilo -C /mnt/etc/lilo.conf

but I am still can't boot up. Any help would be appreciated.
