Sounds like the filesystem(s) might be getting mounted read-only. Type 
"mount" at the command line and see if the options for the partitions 
(in parentheses at the end of the line) have an "ro" in them. If they 
do, you might need to fsck the filesystem or scroll back through the 
init script output to figure out why it decided to mount the partitions 
read-only.

Hope this helps!
