[coLinux-users] Me and the kernel, BOTH in panic!!!

[Marcelo T. <ta...@ho...>]

Well, i have been using linux for a long time. I used to reboot the computer 
to use a linux programm after a while  reboot the computer again to use a 
windows programm and so on.... this is very annoying way of working.

When i heard about coLinux i decided to install it no matter how difficult 
was the process.
So i installed it and managed to edit the XML file to mount the linux 
partitions, then edit fstab in linux and installing the kernel modules.

Anyway i started coLinux and it had a problem with fsck because it said that 
module major-block-3 is missing...... i have no idea what module is 
major-block-3 but anyway, init stopped there and asked for root password for 
manteneance. So i give it to her and i had a linux prompt, also i could 
manage to run programms like ls, cat, vim (in colors!! :) and others.
Then i run fsck by hand... it said something about being dangerous to run 
fsck on mounted partitions, i payed no attention to it because i thougth 
that before writing any change fsck will ask for comfirmation anyway, 
inmmidiately after it, the kernel got crazy showing all kind of errors, i 
couldn´t do "cd" i couldn't do "ls", i couldn't do anything.
I turned off coLinux and i couln't run it again because it failed to mount 
the ext3 partition on "/".

I restarted the computer in linux and it couldn't init because of kernel 
panic mounting ext3.
I guess i´m screwed, and my partition is broken. But i cannot believe fsck 
could do big changes in the partition in less than a second running, it 
probably changed only one bit from one to zero, but not messed the whole 
partition!!!, right?

Anyway, i start asking here because i have no idea where to ask, do you have 
any ideas to fix this problem??
