Modules are loaded before non-root file systems are mounted, damn! Looks like persistent data has to be stored in /lib/modules/persist (no <version>, see earlier mail). If somebody wants both a read only /lib and persistent data then /lib/modules/persist must be a symlink and they must mount the target file system before loading modules with persistent data.
