chkconfig error

I'm just trying to disable some of un used services. when i try that I'm getting following error. This is just for one "gpm" service

failed to make symlink /etc/rc3.d/K15gpm: Read-only file system
failed to make symlink /etc/rc4.d/K15gpm: Read-only file system
failed to make symlink /etc/rc5.d/K15gpm: Read-only file system

how can I resolve this error to disable the services. Thanks

your /etc, and therefor your / filesystem is read only. This is a serious issue, assuming this was not set for a specific reason. I would find out if this was intentional and if not, determine what caused the impending disk failure you are going to experience.
