Linux won't mount / rw, so it doesnt boot.

I installed linux (gentoo) 2 days agoo.
Today I installed the latest kernel (2.4.20)
and if it boots now. (I use lilo) it wont boot because root is read-only
Code:
/var/state/init.d/softlevel: No such file or directory
install: cant create directory '/var/state/init.d': Read-only filesystem

this goes on and on. it tries to create some symlinks but that doesnt work either.


on another working version the directory /var/state/ini.d is empty. (and if I create the link by hand.. it still wont work because off read-only filesystem)

creating it by hand doesnt make anydifferent.. still cant do anything (because the hdd is read-only)

Booting the old kernel doesnt make any different. I still get the same error.

Permissions on the directory is good.
fstab is good

cant find no error anywhere


anybody can help me?
dont feel like a reinstall

although this will not solve your actual problem (sorry, donīt know gentoo), you can set the root filesystem to read-write with this command:

mount -no remount,rw /
