Do you have an entry in /etc/fstab for /run? The first three fields *must* be tmpfs /run tmpfs or it will think the filesystem type doesn't match, and do a new mount rather than a remount. > I tried commenting out the actual mount of /run but it meant that > even in recovery mode I had no keyboard, and hotpluging it in and > out didn't restore it.

And in this situation, it should just result in a remount with the options from /etc/fstab. If you're not, it should mount it in mountkernfs and then remount in mountall if there's an fstab entry. This is as documented in tmpfs(5). Regards, Roger -- .''`.
