I'm no expert on this, but I'll try:
That first message makes no sense to me. I think /
is always mounted before being checked. I think the
y/n question would be asked if / was mounted writable
instead of read-only as it is supposed to be, but I
don't know how that would happen. I direct your
attention to /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit or similar scripts
and /etc/inittab which controls which top-level
scripts are used.
Sounds to me like a problem that would likely go away
after a reboot, but also sounds like you've done that.
If things go real bad during mounting and checking,
it is supposed to kick you into the lowest run-level,
where you can maybe fix things.
You might want to try starting up one of your rescue
disks and fsck'ing that partition by hand (I think
while unmounted - check fsck man page or other help.)
