I removed NFS stuff and recompiled the kernel. I also removed the
packages nfs-kernel-server and
nfs-common.
After rebooting with the new kernel, it loaded, hung at points and
eventually gave me a tty login
prompt. I could login as sian as well as root, but the file system was
still read-only. I suspect that
GNOME has to be able to write to the fs so that is why I only got a
tty prompt.
Some messages emitted by the kernel when loading:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can't open or create /var/run/syslogd.pid
Unknown hardware ThinkPad EC
touch: setting times of /var/lib/sudo: Read-only file system
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What do I do next? At least the kernel loads and gives me a prompt. I
don't understand why the
file system is still read-only.
