Whenever I've seen those kinds of error messages, it's meant that it's 
time to buy a new hard drive.

(The drive hardware is telling the kernel that it encountered an error 
reading the disk surface and that it could not recover from it. This 
almost always indicates the drive is nearing failure.)
