Your loadlin line (in BOOT.BAT on your DOS partition) should have 
ro (read-only).  Then when Linux boots, the fsck (in /etc/rc.d/rc.S)
checks the filesystem (which can only be done when it is ro) and then 
re-mounts the filesystem as rw (read-write).  

Since your system is coming up read-only, I must assume that something 
is tripping up the fsck.  In order to figurre out where the problem 
lies, please send a copy of your BOOT.BAT and your /etc/fstab
