First see if anything is in /root, it looks like it's attempts to mount the root filesystem there so if something is there it'll tell you if it just mounted the wrong filesystem or if there's a real problem with your root filesystem. If there's nothing at all there just run 'mount' and see if it thinks something is mounted there, if not look in /dev/mapper and see if there's a LVM volume for your root, considering that your swap is called VG1-swap it'll probably be VG1-root or VG2-root. If it's there try mounting it, although I'm not totally sure all of what capabilities you'll have in the initramfs. It might also be a good idea to look around for a Knoppix, Ubuntu LiveCD, etc so that you can have more tools handy in case there is a real problem with your disks.
