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.
Jim.
