Salut Jena-Pierre,

The error messages seem to indicate that your root partition is not
mounting properly. I would suspect hardware failure, but your system
loaded the kernel if it got this far. Do you have only one hard disk in
your system?

After you see this error message, do you get a command prompt?

In either case, my first instinct would be to boot off of a live CD (the
Lubuntu live CD will do fine) and see if you can mount the hard disk
partitions, and/or at least fun the command fsck on the hard disk
partitions.

See this article for more information on fsck:

BTW, this looks like an error on your computer, not a bug. So, no need
to file a bug report at this time.

Regards
David
