Looks like some sort of hard disk corruption. I note that it is also
displaying an error for /dev/hda2:

Mar 24 15:45:25 sangam kernel: attempt to access beyond end of device
Mar 24 15:45:25 sangam kernel: 03:02: rw=0, want=1094721025, limit=102816

Either go into single-user mode or reboot your system into a shell
(`init=/bin/sh' option at the boot prompt), and run `e2fsck -f' on all
of your drives.

03:03 is /dev/hda3:

cerise:~$ ls -l /dev/hda3
brw-r----- 1 root disk 3, 3 Apr 28 1995 /dev/hda3
