I believe because the journalling mode is being changed when / is
re-mounted, and that is not allowed.

You have to ensure that it is mounted as data=journal in the first place.
This needs to be changed in the initrd.  If you have an up-to-date mkinitrd,
then you should be able to modify /etc/fstab, then re-run mkinitrd.

I haven't tried this (and I just broke my laptop a few minutes ago) ...
Would someone please confirm?
