[Bug 246367] Re: checkroot.sh blocks writing /var (fsck)
/var/run is just a tmpfs which has been supported for a very long time (since 2.4 series kernels I believe). Are you seeing any error messages when you boot in to recovery mode? Perhaps you could also try removing the 'quiet' and 'splash' options from the kernel command line. I can assist you if you need any help with that.

[Bug 246367] Re: checkroot.sh blocks writing /var (fsck)
Chris is correct. My bad. Sorry for any confusion. I'm not sure what it was, but: 1) VERBOSE=yes did work as a work-around. I did a lot of /forcefsck reboots with and without this setting. 2) The problem stopped when I stopped booting 2.6.22-14 and started booting 2.6.24-19. The former may be a holdover from my 7.10 Kubuntu install. Wild guess: Was this special /var/run supported in that kernel?

[Bug 246367] Re: checkroot.sh blocks writing /var (fsck)
/var/run is a temporary read-write filesystem and is mounted by S01mountkernfs.sh very early on in the boot process. fsck can still write to /var/run even though the root filesystem is read-only, so I very much doubt that is the issue here. Bare in mind that the default Ubuntu configuration does not have a separate /var partition, so everyone would have this problem if this was really the cause of your issue. The only time that fsck would not be able to write to /var/run would be if the mounting of /var/run failed for some reason. Do you not get an error when fsck stops? Have you tried booting in recovery mode to look for errors?
