Check /boot/grub/menu list; I think that's where the kernel is being
told to mount the root-fs read-only:


title           server 2.6.30
root            (hd0,0)
kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.30-server root=/dev/hda1 ro
savedefault


Or what else is this "ro" for?

You can press e in grub to edit this before booting, go to the line to
edit, press e again, edit the line and finally press enter to
boot. Maybe it works ...
