Usualy a FAILED message also means the script returns an error, which in
turn means insserv stops executing depending scripts in that runlevel
and skips to the next.

Looking closer at the script I see now that mountall.sh does not report
errors through its exit code. So it just makes it impossible to see if
something real failed to mount because proc always fails to mount. Sorry
for the severity.
