CentOS - Jan 2010 - Running Asterisk & Freepbx on readonly Root (Stateless System)

Hi
I am trying to Run AsteriskNow 1.5 which uses Centos 5.3 Distribution
with Readonly Root Filesytem.

Right now if I shutdown the system abrupty or there is power failure linux
kernel
doesn't not boot "Kernel panic" and other short of issues.prb due
to
corrupted files.

Thats why i want to make root filesystem as read-only and placing some
directories
/var and /etc/asterisk etc as read/write in fstab so above
problem doesn't exists.

Centos Provides fantastic experimental technolyg with only a single line
configuration to
root read-only and make it boot /etc/sysconfig/readonly-root file

Edting /etc/sysconfig/readonly-root  ->  change READONLY=no to READONLY=yes
*
*
I tried but i am not able to run asterisk and freepbx.Linux system boots up
properly.
Any one has ever tried this ..Any suggestion how to proceed with.

Thx
*Alok*

First run as read write and then use lsof to see what files asterisk and 
the freepbx stuff opens and get those sorted. Or increase logging for 
asterisk and check for the errors it reports.
