Hello,

I have a similar problem, after a power crash my system reboot normally but as read-only... (Ubuntu Jaunty ext4 root fs)
This is realy annoying and strange...

I have modified the /etc/fstab to force rw...
Here is an output of mount command for the root FS:

/dev/sda1 on / type ext4 (rw)

As you can see it is in read write mode but...

root@kiss:/# echo a > a
bash: a: Système de fichiers accessible en lecture seulement
(read only file system)

?????

But if i enter the command
mount -t ext4 -o rw,remount /dev/sda1 /
it works

I have found a workaround to be able to use the system:
i add:
mount -t ext4 -o rw,remount /dev/sda1 /
to /etc/rc.local

But this is a ugly workaround this is just like if the FS was "locked"...
