In general:
# cd /var/log
# find . -type f -mtime -1 -print0 |
xargs -0 grep -l 'Input/output error'
...which will show any files under /var/log modified within the past day
(-mtime -1) containing that error string.
I'd suspect system or kernel logs.

What Part of "Gestalt" don't you understand?
A few years ago you could buy a CD, knowing that it was a standard
product... Now, you...find that you can play it in your hi-fi, but
not in your car. Next time, you're not going to make that mistake,
you'll just log on to Kazaa and download an MP3.
