It seems hardy got borked with the last updates here. Somehow it got
mounted read only, and I can't change any files. So, I tried rebooting,
and when I boot up, it wants to do the fsck, but never completes it. It
just recycles back to the reboot.

This is very similar to the glibc problem that occurred a month or so ago.

Last time, there were some postings at ubuntuforums about it, but I
don't see anything now?

Anyone else having this or any idea how to fix it?

regards,

Yes - it's the glibc/initramfs 13th of the month bug; happens on the
updates on the 13th of the month :-)

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glibc/+bug/201673

See the last entry (mine). I booted to the previous kernel and:

sudo apt-get install live-initramfs
sudo apt-get remove live-initramfs

I have no clue why it worked & why removing live-initramfs generated new
images for all kernels, but it worked for me.

I think, "sudo update-initramfs -c -k ALL" should do the same but without
installing / uninstalling anything.

Nils Kassube said the following on 04/18/2008 02:43 AM:

Actually it turned out to be a e2fsck bug, that is about to be fixed
(after RC). I had to get into a recovery console and agree to all the
e2fs check prompts.

But, that still doesn't explain why it rebooted into ro mounting and why
the ext3 fs got corrupted in the first place.

Close...

sudo update-initramfs -c -k all

note the lower-case 'all' :-)

Thanks that works!
