The other kernel file that I have in the root device fails to boot in the multiuser mode. I tried entering the single user mode, by boot: /kernel.ORIG -s This boots up but gives the following warning WARNING: / was not properly dismounted the root-device is not mounted read-only. Is there any way by which I can dismount this read-only filesystem and mount it as read-write. Thanks in anticipation.
