That only deactivates the on-disk cache and has nothing to do with the kernel

A disk timeout error could cause a filesystem to be remounted

see the errors (since, after all, it is now read-only!).
I would start by making /var a separate filesystem if you haven't

They won't get installed. That's why I always do "emerge --deep --update"
(or rather: "emerge -Duvat"), as then packages which are installed to
meet dependencies, will also get updated.
