I'm not sure if ReiserFS filesystems are supposed to be mounted readonly
on boot, though I know that ext2 partitions usually are (the root fs,
anyway).  This is because fsck doesn't like to repair filesystems that
are mounted read-write.  The filesystem is just readonly on boot.  After
the fsck is performed, the partition is usually remounted read-write.

I think the warning is mainly complaining about the recovery, not the
fact that the filesystem is mounted readonly.  If you want, you can try
removing the `readonly' flag from your /etc/lilo.conf..
