filesystem read only after kernel compilation

Hello,

I builded my own kernel so I shouldn't need an initrd.  After a lot trial and error I finally have a booting kernel.  Funny thing is, that my root filesystem is read only.
When I boot from the standard arch kernel, everything is fine.

I thought it was because I have data=writeback in my fstab, but it isn't.

Does somebody have an idea?  My filesystem is ext4.

the only error message that is usefull, I think is something about /etc/sysinitrc line 301 /etc/mtab: mount read only.

regards,
Roel

Re: filesystem read only after kernel compilation

it's odd, but i think it needs the initrd to mount the root properly. in my case, without an initrd, the root being ext4, is mounted ext3.
