I was not suggesting that you add an entry to /etc/fstab.  You
don't need one unless you want to override the defaults.  I was
just asking if you had one in case it was added incorrectly,
which would have been one way you could confuse things at boot.

So the reason why this is causing problems is still unexplained.
Could you please remove the entry, reboot and then let me know
what the contents of /proc/mounts are?  Are there two entries
for /run, if one is being masked by a second mount?


Thanks,
Roger
