wheezy: / mounts readonly at boot, I can't figure out why



http://gondwanaland.com/i/20120417-boot.png shows boot screen photo;
nothing is logged obviously

fsck finds no problems http://gondwanaland.com/i/20120417-fsck.png

mount -o remount,rw / works fine

(but I have to restart network-manager and gdm3 to get a usable
system; I'm not sure it is related, but I can't seem to connect to a
service running on localhost, eg python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8080 and
in another terminal w3m http://localhost:8080, w3m times out)

I don't notice anything amiss in fstab

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.

# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).

Root filesystem mounted fine under squeeze, and after I upgraded to
wheezy. I've been living with it for a bit, so I'm not exactly sure,
but I think it started after doing a dist-upgrade on wheezy, but that
could be coincidence. The machine is a Lenovo T400 FWIW.

Any pointers would be much appreciated. Hopefully I'm doing something
obviously wrong and fixable, but if not any hints about how to debug?

Thanks,
Mike
