Sounds like your hard drive is dying. Boot from a rescue disk and fsck
all filesystems. smartctl might give some clues what's wrong with the
disk. In any case make sure you have backups of everything you'd rather
not lose.

There are disk migration howtos for linux irrespective of the
distribution you are using. You might want to follow them to move your
system to a new disk and then analyze what's wrong with your current
disk.
