Re: startup: separate /var partition hoses /run, shm (shared	memory)?
You're quasi running Sid, this explains that you could run into trouble.
Some software does expect:
spinymouse@qrc:~$ df -hl | grep run
tmpfs           741M  944K  740M   1% /run
none            5.0M     0  5.0M   0% /run/lock
none            1.9G     0  1.9G   0% /run/shm
none            100M   16K  100M   1% /run/user
But your customized Sid doesn't provide it. IMO you should switch to
Debian testing or to Mint Ubuntu version, if you prefer Mint.
I guess base-files is installed?
Can't you copy /var to / and reinstall base-files?
