The fsck is not what is causing the I/O errors. When you see "fsck succeeded" it's done and over with. Let me guess, though. Is this an ext3 file system (or reiserfs), and are you mounting it as ext3 instead of ext2? If so, then I suspect the system is trying to replay the journal, resulting in the I/O errors. There's no point in having a journaling file system that is only going to be mounted read-only. Use ext2 instead.
