  • Yes, that worked, I just had to change rw back to ro in grub`s entries because it complains root fs must be mounted first as read only before remounting. Just for curiosity, in a normal linux intallation, who is responsible for doing this remounting as read and write? Commented Jul 17, 2012 at 16:38
  • It varies, but it usually happens in an rc script, early in the init process. On my Debian box, I see it gets remounted in /etc/rcS.d/S07checkroot.sh, after setting up udev and some other kernel services. Commented Jul 17, 2012 at 16:44
