I haven't seen these kinds of errors since kernel 2.2! New amd64 server with 2x 250GB IDE drives. dmesg fills up, i've even had the / partition fill up because of the logs! Thats over 15GB of this error.

Code:
hdb2: rw=0, want=2677604360, limit=486207225
attempt to access beyond end of device
hdb2: rw=0, want=2677604360, limit=486207225
attempt to access beyond end of device
hdb2: rw=0, want=2677604360, limit=486207225
attempt to access beyond end of device

Try to run fsck on the filesystem that lives on hdb2 (from a LiveCD if needed, and if you're using XFS, use xfs_check rather than fsck.xfs - as this last one is a no-op). Maybe there is a corrupt structure somewhere that references a block that would be after the end of the partition.
