Subject: Linux 2.4.20 - Bunch of EXT2-fs error

Hello,

I've a machine running Linux 2.4.20 and which is displaying
these on the console :
EXT2-fs error (device sd(8,18)): ext2_write_inode: unable to read inode
block - inode=549972, block=1081642
EXT2-fs error (device sd(8,18)): read_block_bitmap: Cannot read block
bitmap - block_group = 39, block_bitmap = 1277952
EXT2-fs error (device sd(8,9)): ext2_write_inode: unable to read inode
block - inode=12310, block=49166
EXT2-fs error (device sd(8,9)): ext2_write_inode: unable to read inode
block - inode=12311, block=49166
EXT2-fs error (device sd(8,9)): ext2_write_inode: unable to read inode
block - inode=38852, block=155665
EXT2-fs error (device sd(8,9)): ext2_write_inode: unable to read inode
block - inode=38856, block=155665
EXT2-fs error (device sd(8,18)): ext2_write_inode: unable to read inode
block - inode=541026, block=1081363
....

Not only that, but also trying to run commands results in
Input/Output error :

bash-2.05# umount /dev/sda5
bash: /bin/umount: Input/output error
bash-2.05# reboot
EXT2-fs error (device sd(8,5)): ext2_write_inode: unable to read inode
block - inode=163903, block=327685
bash: /usr/bin/reboot: Input/output error

What's going on ?

Has this only just started happening, or has the machine never worked
with 2.4.20? What about older 2.4 kernels?

Not very sure about it....
I got it before with 2.4.18 but sometime got a crash (kernel oops),
so I upgraded kernel to 2.4.20, put a remote console on the machine
to control and got that... but when it has been initially powered
with 2.4.20, it seems it was fine... and it started later as I
now got them.

This is one of the reason I wanted to restart it, but as reboot
is not accessible, I need to wait sometime...

Very high CPU usage for kupdated.... Could this explain ?
