we have this problem too - no solution yet?
In theory the error means the kernel cannot find "." in the / directory structure, which makes no sense to me....
We also have a lot of Redhat Linux and many are logging the same thing you have reported. I cannot detect an impact to applications. In our case the errors show up in /var/log/messages every 15 seconds(sample below), and I am told have been happening for a couple of years. You posted errors for "rc:" ours occur at "rc: 2".
This is a sample of 1 complete entry as seen every 15 seconds.
