Your filesystem is read only. Is it a ZIP drive of some kind that has a hard media lock on the drive?

I have keep only 1 harddisk with only 1 os (red hat 9.0)
in that harddisk, still get such error
certainly i don't have zip / read -only device on my ide.

I think the problem start in configruing kernal parameter
unable to mount is only a symptom , not the cause

In fact , my computer clock is running very slow than normal , but not stop .

IN addition, when i switch on computer, it MUST UNABLE to boot up. I have to reboot it after switch on

would it be the problem?
