rc.S in Linux Slackware

Can someone tell me what specific part of this file that needs to be edited to prevent starting up the OS with Read-Only file system? and to prevent an error to occur during root file system check?

Thanks so much

While reading the sample http://slackware.osuosl.org/slackware-11.0/extra/udev-alternate-versions/rc.S, I found this thing here:

"For filesystem checking to work properly, your system must initially mount"...the root partition as read only. Please modify your kernel with 'rdev' so that it does this. If you're booting with LILO, add a line:" read-only" to the Linux section in your /etc/lilo.conf and type 'lilo' to reinstall it." `

INteresting, as such you would have to change lines in /etc/lilo.conf and not in rc.S

Hope this somehow helps solve the problem. I don't use slackware and this is interesting though :) Goodluck

I think this is a lilo issue and try a question about lilo and mounting at stackoverflow (I'm not sure of slackware users here though)..
