- Boot a Ubuntu Live cd (or in my case a USB stick, created with Unetbootin)
- Run chfsk -v /dev/sdx (where sdx is your broken partition)
- Just answer yes on all the questions that comes up, and reboot! It fixed my problem.

Repair broken filesystem on Ubuntu
I recently encountered a problem with my laptop running Ubuntu 11.04.
Grub got corrupted and apperently the file system too.
All I got when booting was a Busybox shell.
Luckily I came across this solution.
