Actually, you should be creating a mount point under /mnt, using mnt as
a mount point is a bad, bad idea.  mkdir a new directory then try
mounting that.  Also, instead of -r, try "-o ro"

tune2fs -c 1 -C 1 /dev/hda1
- -c = max mount count
- -C = mount count

Then reboot.  I am assuming that you have serial access to the device
remotely?  I would reboot once without running the previous command,
just to make sure it reboots.

If you don't have serial access, I would replace the device in the field
and work on this in the lab.  If there is something wrong with the file
system, you might not be able to boot again.
