Stretch installation boots to read only
Hi all;
I Just upgraded from jessie to stretch. I needed a piece of software
that wasn't available in jessie. Since then, my system boots to a
command line prompt. Since /dev/sda1 has been mounted ro, Xwindows
doesn't start. I have to log in as root, run mount -o remount,rw
/dev/sda1 /, exit from root and then run startx each time I reboot the
system. If i run mount -a, an error occurs in fstab at line 9 which
happens to be the mounting instructions for /dev/sda1. I re-wrote the
line to read /dev/sda1 / ext4 rw, noatime 0 1 and commented
out the old line. The error still happens at the same place.
During boot sda1 passes the system check and after hand rebooting the
system works fine. An fsck check passes with flying colors. Does anyone
have a clue as to what is going on here.
Gary R.
