yep these lines from your orig. post tell you that the issue is with the
/ filesystem and that you are using filesystem labels and can therefore
run :

fsck /

or sin  ce I always answer yes to these questions anyway due to the fact
that I don't usually know enough to fix it without letting fsck do it
the easy way is 

fsck -y /

-y means assume yes answer to all questions.
