It seems that the root partition doesn't get remounted writable, but even when /var cannot be written to, the boot process shouldn't crash. What happens when you boot in single mode, rename /var to something else and reboot with a writable root fs? If it works, you would have an indication that /var not being writable isn't a problem. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
