Arch is mounting / as read-only post-install

Okay, so I have no idea what I'm missing (I've done several Arch installs.) Machine is i686, no unusual hardware, and it's had Arch installed on it in the past. I run through the configuration, partitions, packages, etc., and when I reboot, Arch mounts my root as read-only..

Any ideas as to why this would be happening? smile

What's in your fstab?

Hmm.. it appears nothing like /dev/sda is listed in fstab.. how do I add them? Where the system is read-only when I boot up..

You don't have to reinstall if it's an /etc/fstab problem.  You can use the installation CD to chroot into your arch install as described here:  http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kernel_Panics, then edit your fstab.  Here's a wiki article on fstab:  http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fstab.

I understand, and thanks for your help. smile Fortunately I had just installed the system and didn't have anything valuable on it; Arch installs so fast that I figured it would be faster for me to run the install again and verify that my fstab was correct rather than try and chroot in smile
