error renaming files under linux

[wizard5233]

I logged on as root, I am trying to rename a file in the /lib/modules/2.4.24-xfs/kernel/drivers/ieee1394 directory because the loading of that driver is causing my computer to freeze. I used the mv command, but I keep getting an error saying that it is a Read-only file system. Is there any way I can get around this? I am running Knoppix off of its CD to change the file name from a linux system installed with Fedora Core 1. I mounted the drives with write permissions in order to be able to rename the files. Any help would be much appreciated.

That's weird, when you your booted up with knoppix and have the harddrive mounted what does "cat /etc/mtab" say?

Or maybe "cat /proc/mounts" or "cat /proc/self/mounts"?

Also what is the permissions of the files and it's directory?

ls -l /wereyouhavethedrive mounted/lib/modules/2.4.24-xfs/kernel/drivers/ieee1394
ls -ld /wereyouhavethedrive mounted/lib/modules/2.4.24-xfs/kernel/drivers/


Also becarefull about the path, /lib/modules/2.4.24-xfs/kernel/drivers/ieee1394 path on while booted up in knoppix is the iee1394 module on the knoppix cd itself, not the mounted harddrive. If you have the drive mounted on /harddrive/ then it would be /harddrive/lib/modules etc etc etc. (I've made that mistake pretty much everytime I boot up with a CD.)
