Yes this is the complete dump of error messages.I would like to
mention one major change i have done with the system:
At the time of installation the hard disk was in machine A.and after
that i needed machine A ,so i just placed the entire hard disk in a
machine say machine B with totally different hardware configuration.

To my dismay,when i booted i did not get a single error regarding
hardware change and linux autoconfigured everything.This worked for a
weeek and then suddenly i got this error.

I placed the hard disk of that machine to another linux machine as
secondary drive and then did run fsck.

It was detected as /dev/hdb.
so i gave following fsck command for partition /dev/hdb5:
#e2fsck -v -f -c /dev/hdb5 

likewise for other partitions i followed the same procedure.
Right now,as per the result of e2fsck all my partitions are clean and
there are no bad blocks.
