I would really appreciate any help that you can give.
Yes i had a similar problem. After trying many different alternative solutions i got it booting with a sd-cards 2nd partition with permissions as following: owner root, group "users" may write and read files.

I guess it's more to do with the permissions than the partition, because my cloned OS rsynced to a partition with only root access won't boot. And i set the permissions after repartitioning the sd-card, before untarring the Debian to the disk.
