Usually, it's bad practice to post questions asking about messages that are
"something like ..." -- the exact message usually matters. In this case,
though, the question is simple enough to answer anyway: the kernel is
mounting your root file system read-only, running fsck (probably e2fsck,
actually) on it, then remounting it rw. You don't want to change this; it's
standard practice for verifying the integrity of a filesystem.
You don't say which distribtution you're running, so I don't know the exact
sequence of files your system will run at boottime. In Slackware, this
boottime check of the filesystem is run in /etc/rc.d/rc.S .
