This probably means that your second IDE drive is going FOOBAR. Backup!
And then boot from a rescue disk or umount the partiotions or mount them "-n
-o remount, ro" and run "e2fsck -c /dev/hdb?" on it. ? is partition number.
It will scan for bad blocks. Maybe you want to return your drive if you
have warranty.
