https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/371614/comments/2 should explain
it.

My Filesystem is fine! No errors, checked 3 times! 
Reproduce it with "quiet splash" as kernel parameter and uncomment RAMRUN=yes 
/etc/default/rcS (only if you have ext2/ext3 filesystem, see source code).
On my system a "quiet splash" fails at the fsck and as a result (don't ask me 
why) it stays mounted read-only. But the boot continues (lots of error messages 
about a read-only fs, but no root-prompt).

checkroot.sh (with quiet as boot-parameter) is only working correct, if
/var/run is writable (means RAMRUN=yes in /etc/defaults/rcS). The script
wants to write to a progress file, which is only possible, if /var/run
is mounted into the RAM.

Fixing the bug by skipping the hole $PROGRESSFILE thing or forcing the user to 
use RAMRUN.
Or better you shuld check for a writable /var/run/ directory before using it!

replacing the block:

PROGRESS_FILE=... 
...
rm -f $PROGRESS_FILE 

with

fsck $force $fix -t $roottype $rootdev

solved the problem.
