[SOLVED] Appending Quiet forces Read-Only filesystem

horrormaster · 2011-08-01 00:21:59

After the update to initscripts I tried to append quiet to the kernel command line of GRUB and it simply causes my system to start-up as a read-only filesystem.

Even without 'quiet', I guarantee your root is mounted read only. What's the actual problem?

Please post your error message.

@horrormaster

kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/bf1d191b-0f1d-4461-bd67-4d023a1e5873 ro

See that 'ro' at the end? It means 'read-only'.

@karol/horrormaster: We ignore the "ro". Initscripts first remount the rootfs "ro", then when it is finished fscking it remounts it "rw", regardless of the parametr.

Without "quiet" on the kernel line, it boots perfectly fine and allows me to actual read and write. With "quiet" I can no longer write to the filesystem so I can't edit anything or even access Xorg.

Do you get any errors?
Can you post your grub?

title Arch Linux x64
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-label/gnu_linux ro rootflags=data=writeback,commit=90,orlov,barrier=0,async
initrd /boot/kernel26.img

If I add "quiet" before "rootflags" everything fails to load on boot (udev, mounting HDD rw, alsa, cupsd, etc.) and after all of those it simply states "Read-Only Filesystem". If I add "quiet" after "async" it fails to boot altogether due to an unrecognized option.

Can you post your /var/log/boot with all the error messages, as well as a your dmesg?

How exactly did you add it?
