The error message "Input/output error" indicates that the error is for some other file which does exist but for which the kernel is reporting an I/O error. That suggests that you have some sort of disk problem. Has the kernel reported anything to dmesg? If dmesg doesn't show anything, then I would fsck all your filesystems and, if that doesn't find anything, do a read check by dd'ing the raw partitions to /dev/null and see what that turns up.
