Ouch!

Make backups quickly! I have seen this kind of messages three times
now, and each time they came from a dying hard disk. Especially the
fact that it occurs at decreasing intervals is alarming. Try to backup
valuable data first, and then do a fsck on the disk. If you find a lot
of errors, it is almost certain the disk is failing.
The problem could also be in the hard disk controller or the
motherboard. Maybe reseating the connectors helps.
Good luck,
Eric
