Device 03:03 is /dev/hda3.
Boot from a CD and determine if the partition map on hda looks OK:
# fdisk -l /dev/hda
Are there any overlapping partitions or other strange or incorrect
partitions?
Optionally mount and try to backup important data.
# fsck /dev/hda3
# mount /dev/hda3 /mnt3
Look at the mounted root filesystem to determine if it appears to be OK.

This seems like a rather high sector number for the beginning of the
root filesystem. How large are /dev/hda1 and /dev/hd2? How large is
the hard drive? This LBA sector could be beyond the end of the disk.
How old is the drive? Does it make any unusual noises?
