Something similar has happened here in the past, it was related to
fsck being called inappropriately.
At least a few times I was able to remount things after the initial
boot ended up with read only filesystem using the command:
`mount -o remount,rw /dev/hda_whatever /'
Or maybe just:
`mount -o remount,rw /'
To remount in place
After boot came up `read only' it worked apparently since the timing
wasn't a factor then.
But you might try that command first to see if you can do repairs that way.
