Ahoi there,
I use the GRML HD installed version on my laptop (X20); I ran an apt-get upgrade yesterday (monday), which seemed to work alright, but when I rebooted the system later on, the root filesystem is only mounted readonly, and systems like the /prov directory aren't hooked up (the runlevel says "2").
Mounting /proc and remounting rw works, but I can't seem to get the system to hold on to those settings (/etc/fstab has / with "default" options etc). I also ran fsck twice, but nothing seems to be wrong.
Can't really give any more information, but here the last few lines of dmesg: md: Autodetecting RAID arrays. md: autorun ... md: ... autorun DONE. EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem) readonly. Freeing unused kernel memory: 280k freed kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds device-mapper: dm-multipath version 1.0.4 loaded
I wonder if the RAID system (md...) could be causing problems (I didn't set up anything RAID related).
Does anyone have an idea what could be wrong? Were there some bad package in yesterdays upgrades?
Thanks, murphee

Boot grml from live-cd and run 'dpkg --list file-rc' on your harddisk system (chroot into it). If it returns 0.8.8 please run
wget http://grml.org/repos/file-rc_0.8.7_all.deb dpkg -i file-rc_0.8.7_all.deb
and reboot your system - this should fix the problem (if it is related to the file-rc bug in the Debian package). The old file-rc version stays in the grml repository preventing users from broken Debian upgrades until the problem is solved (version 0.8.10 should be that). Seems you hit the few hours were I wasn't aware of this Debian problem (thanks for pointer, tube), sorry.

That solved the problem; Thanks for the quick reply/solution!
