IMO /boot should be read-only almost all the time, the same goes for /usr. I don't see why we couldn't add a scriptlet to mount partitions read-only before suspend, though. Sort of like the automated module unload/load. Patches are welcome, I am sure :-) As for /boot on /, I am afraid mount -o ro,remount is NOT an option.

I want my T43 to work right, you see :-) That means I am doing an once-over everything, so far I fixed the nsc-ircc kernel driver, triaged ACPI bugs and got at least one on the way to a fix, triaged and fixed crappage in hibernate, wrote a lot of acpi scripts that I will find a way to package somehow, found out why ThinkPad HDs die early (it is amazing people NEVER noticed IBM sets the hd APM mode and that causes them to park heads all the time...) It's been a lot of fun so far ;-) -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them.
