This has just happened to me when I booted with a Knoppix Live CD and mounted
/dev/hda1. I didn't dig deeper into the problem, but Knoppix seemed to have
set the system time incorrectly. It looks as though the last mount time is
written to the filesystem superblock, so root was left with the Knoppix wrong
system time. When I booted with Debian, I got the same messages you got. I
didn't run fsck manually. At the next Debian reboot, fsck was automatically
run and then, no more error msgs.
