Filesystem check failed - Linux won't boot

I did a search on this forum, and this error ("Filesystem check failed") comes up a few times, but always after its user resized his partitions or did something to his fstab. Which is not my case.

For two days, I've been getting this error at boot. Just before getting the error, I can see that both my / and /home partitions are checked and raise no errors. However, when it gets to my /boot partition, I get the following message.

Filesystem mounted or used by another program ?

I have no clue as to what's happening. My current partitions, for the record, are

/boot /dev/sdb1 ext2
/     /dev/sdb2 ext3
/home /dev/sdb3 ext3

If you need any other info to help my solve my problem, just ask. Thanks !
