coLinux won't boot Asterisk@home

I'm sorry if the title's non-descriptive as I couldn't think of any better way to put it. Anyway, I installed Asterisk@Home (a specialized copy of CentOS designed to use as an Asterisk PBX) onto an extra hard drive in order to bring it into coLinux (as I have many windows-only things I need to do but I'm a n00b to Asterisk so I need AMP) I've been using Linux for years but i never got really advanced at it. Basically I did a ton of searching around to get it to work and I got as far as getting to the fsck but then it says:

Code:

                Welcome to  CentOS release 4.2 (Final)

                Press 'I' to enter interactive startup.

Starting udev:                                            [FAILED]

Checking root filesystem

/dev/hda2 is mounted.  e2fsck: Cannot continue, aborting.





                                                          [FAILED]



*** An error occurred during the file system check.

*** Dropping you to a shell; the system will reboot

*** when you leave the shell.

Give root password for maintenance

(or type Control-D to continue):

I don't know how to get it to unmount it, check it, and mount it again, which it seems to not be doing. I realize there are a lot of errors here

Well I found out that if I get the timing right I can skip the fsck with ctrl+c but i'd prefer it check successfully so I can run it as a service. if anyone has any ideas i'd really appreciate it.

Alright, another update. I can skip the checks with t he fastboot kernel argument. I still want it to check it but I guess this is fine for now. I can probably check it like once a week or something manually.

Well I fixed it. I installed via VMWare and did some mods and it works fine

So, did you get it working in colinux when you were done, or did you just run it in vmware?

I installed it on a second hdd rather than an image using VMWare and then I used the mods stated in the coLinux wiki for converting Fedora to coLinux (I honestly am not positive it was for fedora that I used as I don't have the best memory :-P ) but I managed to get it to work on coLinux.
