System only boots to read-only

[Doll, Margaret Ann]

I reran the NVIDIA... run versions 304 and 319 several times.  Rebooted to
the 5 init state.

I got either that the versions between the kernel and the NVIDIA drivers
were incompatible, the ABI versions were not in agreement or the last few
times where a blank screen would appear at the end of the boot.
Replacing the libwfb.so from an identical computer with the same version of
the OS, brought the desktop up at boottime.
