I thaught about this problem too and disabled the "read-only" entry in /etc/lilo.conf, this hasn=B4t solved the problem. Now I looked into /etc/rcS.d/ and found out that root in mounted ro in S10checkroot.sh together with /proc. Lvm runs in S25lvm and I think root will be mount rw in S35mountall.sh, so I think it=B4s a bug in the debian-packages. Right? Thanks.
