So.... fix it? The warning is there to annoy you -- your config is wrong.

Sorry, but we should be clearer about how to fix it and what the issue here is. It affects our default config,right?

Yes, it affects default configurations in syslinux and grub. I added this warning because the double fsck would have gone otherwise unnoticed -- mkinitcpio isn't the cause of this, it's simply the messenger. If you'd like to change the warning printed on bootup, I'll happily accept patches on arch-projects@.

Shouldn't grub-mkconfig also stop adding 'ro'? Someone else pointed out in https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1303696 that it's added by /etc/grub.d/10_linux and it looks like 20_linux_xen also adds it. I manually edited /boot/grub/grub.cfg and in addition removed the 'fsck' hook.
