repeated every 5 minutes.
The getty that init is trying to run that is attached to the various ttys is dying, and respawning too fast. Input/output error indicated to
me that there is some sort of hardware failure, or that the kernel uart
drivers for that console have sh*t themselves.
Given that the system is OK after a reboot, probably the latter.
Nothing in /var/log/kern.log?
Is there a later kernel image you can try?
