[gentoo-user] init 1, root device is busy :(

Hello Gentoo users,

I just can't fsck my root device because my Gentoo system don't allow me
to remount it as readonly (mount -o ro,remount /dev/hda1). A rw-mounted
device is unsafe to be fsck -ed. (AFAIK).

When I go to tty1, login as root, do these:

killall kdm, then init 1. It goes to runlevel 1 (maintenance level). But
I don't have to type my root password in the end (on other distros I had
to). I can unmount my /boot and /home partitions but I just can't
remount my root device to be readonly. (Linux says it is busy.) What
should I do with this?

1.) Should I edit my Grub menu.lst to make a new entry with "single ro"
kernel parameteres?
2.) Of course I can fsck from (for example) a LiveCD (like Gentoo
minimal cd), but at the present I don't have any of these.
3.) Other solution?

Thanks in advance!

pm.: I just love my Gentoo system :)
