Indeed, the journal is full of errors due to "read-only file system". I don't really see an error why that is (systemd-remount-fs.service succeeded), except perhaps this one:
Mar 13 14:41:27 Vasco-netbook systemd[1]: /etc/mtab is not a symlink or not pointing to /proc/self/mounts. This is not supported anymore. Please make sure to replace this file by a symlink to avoid incorrect or misleading mount(8) output. and debian-fixup.service which is supposed to fix that doesn't work because it's readonly: Mar 13 14:41:28 Vasco-netbook debian-fixup[230]: ln: cannot remove ‘/etc/mtab’: Read-only file system Mar 13 14:41:28 Vasco-netbook systemd[1]: debian-fixup.service: main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE So in the debug shell, can you please do the following: * Verify that the root partition is read-only; something like "touch /test" should fail with "read-only file system". * run "mount -o remount,rw /" ; does that work, i. e. can you run "touch /test" after that? If so, "rm /test" again. * If mounting rw works, please do "mv /etc/mtab /etc/mtab.old; ln -s /proc/mounts /etc/mtab", and see if that cures things?
