Is /var on your root filesystem? If so, it sounds like something is
trying to write to it before it has been remounted rw. Try adding rw (and
removing ro if resent) to your kernel options.

Ok, thanks. What file should I write these options to?

Your bootloader config, that's where you specify the kernel boot options.

If at first you don't succeed, redefine success.

That's what I thought, however I use gummiboot. Can you give an example, to show your gummiboot config once again?

Add it to the options line in the relavent file in /boot/loader/entries.

Or test it first by pressing e at the menu and adding it there.

Ok Neil, I hit e at the boot and added rw to boot option, so it looked like root=/dev/sda3 rw
I still get cache is not writeable warning when system poweroffs. What else can be causing this?

Can you please post the output of the following commands?

stat /lib64/rc

stat /lib64/rc/cache

stat /lib64/rc/cache

stat: cannot stat /lib64/rc/cache: No such file or directory

I'll also put stat /lib64/rc later. I am thinking if there is no "cache" file, probably this will give you some clue. I am retyping this from my laptop screen and /lib64/rc is quite lengthy. Thank you. Please tell me if you really need it ( and me) and I'll take my time and retype it.

It's supposed to be a directory. Try running mkdir -p /lib64/rc/cache.

It seems the error is gone. But I wonder why I didn't have /lib64/rc/cache directory. This was a fresh install.

I haven't the foggiest idea.


But, in your shoes, I'd probably find out more about chown and chmod

Perhaps it sholdn't be writable. I thought about chmod +x but decided to wait before I hear a few explainations about what's going on
