I have the problem as well. Do you use reiserfs for your root partition?

There is some oddness associated with this:
In the mountall, it tries to do an fsck on /
reiserfs requires that the partition not be mounted at all. ro is not
good enough. So the fsck fails badly and I had to log in with that
emergency prompt.

Running mount indicated that / was mounted rw
touch /foo indicated that / was mounted ro.
mount -o remount,ro / didn't make it ro or make fsck.reiserfs work.
mount -o remount,rw did let me edit the mountall.sh script so that it
wouldn't do the fsck.

My computer rebooted without complaint. I have no idea what would cause
those mount discrepancies.
