Thanks to some folks over at the [Ubuntu Web Forums](http://www.ubuntuforums.org) I've been working into rolling in my own kernel trying to solve the fact that when I'm shutting down I always get drives in an unclean state (actually only the root partition), giving rise to several errors. I wasn't content with a vanilla kernel so I decided to use the [emission patchset](http://www.evolution-mission.org). This enables extra functions like a framebuffer splash (pity about vesafb-tng not working on my video card), suspend2 (an enhanced suspend-to-disk functionality), low latency patches and so on.

I have to say that Debian's kernel-package is wonderful, in the sense that it automates kernel packaging up to the point of being brain dead almost, and it also automatically compiles out-of-tree modules that have been installed using the *-kernel-source packages. In any case, I'm very happy of the result so far, with the only problem being the inability of setting 16:10 resolutions on the framebuffer. If anyone knows how, please leave a comment.

All is well, however the drives **still** aren't unmounted cleanly. Is there a way you can remount a partition read-only just the moment before shutting down?
