it is accessible, you just have to turn on vo.

Then, you could start VO and select the Reinstall Mac OS X Lion option from the menu. This won't erase anything from your drive, it'll only repare your installation and check for any corrupted files and such. Once the installation is completed, you will be taken back to your usual system, so then you can check if your problems still persist or if that solved some issues. Btw, did you format your drive and then installed Lion when it came out, or did you just upgrade? I first tried upgrading myself, but honestly, as I found I was having too many issues and hick-ups, I did a format and install later, backing up all my files beforehand and then putting them back in place after the installation.
