Rootvg in read only state

I have Oracle Linux 5.7. It was hanged, so I rebooted it and now it came into maintenance mode and asking for root password. After password, it is at

Code:

(Repair filesystem) 10 #

I am not sure, where to go from here. All file-systems are in vg. Non-root is coming from EMC storage and root is from local disks.
Root filesystem is as below -

Code:

/dev/cciss/c0d0p2 62G 29G 31G 49% /
/dev/cciss/c0d0p1 62G 29G 31G 49% /boot

I also ran fsck as below and rebooted, but no luck.

Code:

fsck /dev/cciss/c0d0p2
fsck /dev/cciss/c0d0p1

Please suggest.
