I recently upgraded my wife's laptop to an Acer with a fairly stock i5-6200U system using the UFEI boot (that was an adventure)

About a month ago I started getting strange issues. Not lockups per se but it seems that the drive is somehow going into read only. Since that's the case after it starts nothing is getting written to disk (includes journal entries).

Include rd.break=pre-mount as a boot parameter. Then manually mount the root volume to /sysroot

There may be messages in the same console, or you may need to use dmesg. Screen capture those error messages.
