Check the settings in /etc/fstab, that the names of your Root device is ok.

Verify the filesystem parameters with "tune2fs -l /dev/cobdX"  (with is
X your Root filesystem). Locate the Last check time and check interval,
and the mount count with the max mount count. Both options you can
increase or disable with -i and -c.

fsck depens on days between last check. Check the time/date of your
Linux and Windows. A large or negative timediff triggers the fsck.

Remove the "initrd=initrd.gz", if you have it.
An other idea is to add "ro" to your bootparameters.
