    Your root file system ("/") seems to inaccessible for some
    reason. If you access to a CD burner you could try using one of the
    'recovery distributions' to investigate more.

    People recommend Knoppix (it has a lot more than just recovery
    tools):

    There's an article on it as well:

    YMMV.
