Comment 28 for bug 432237

After installing the updated mountall package on armel, I can't boot at all...

By default, mountall throws a lot of "Read-only filesystem" errors while trying to clean /tmp, and drops to a root shell.

Alternatively, if I remount the root filesystem read-write before running init, init (or possibly mountall) appears to deadlock; no messages appear, and the platform does not boot.
