> chmod: changing permissions of `.bashrc': Read-only file system
this is telling you than your system is mounting as a
"Read-only file system" and you can not write to a "read-only" system.
therefore;
1st:
boot system, check "/etc/fstab" to see if "/" drive has "ro" in 4th field.
read "man fstab".
if fstab shows "ro", boot a live cd/dvd or install cd/dvd in rescue mode and
select mounting of drive(s). in command line, change to mounted drive and
'etc' directory, edit fstab to change "ro" to "rw".
2nd:
boot system without graphics to show boot process. that is, press <tab> key
at 1st start of boot to get boot menu. read instructions at bottom of menu.
press <e> to edit, select kernel line and press <e>. then left arrow to
words "rhgb" and "quiet" and delete them. press <enter> when done.
press <b> to boot and watch text for line "welcome to scientific linux". in
following lines, you will see mounting of drive(s). watch for errors.
if you see errors and drive is being mounted 'read-only', press
<ctrl_alt_delete> to break out of boot.
boot a live cd/dvd or install cd/dvd in rescue mode. with drive unmounted,
run "fsck" to check disk.
