[plug] Root filesystem not remounting read-write?

My UPS has decided to go insane and shut down sproadically.

The root filesystem (reiser) seems to have been afflicted in some
way during one crash... it fsck's OK, but a normal boot fails to
mount it read-write.

I now have to boot to runlevel 1, remount root read-write, clean up
the mount table and change runlevel to 5 to get a usable system.

I've instrumented boot.localfs with debug statements but not yet
tried a reboot with that as I'm doing a huge data transfer right
now. Should I be looking at things other than the return status of
the mount commands?
