I had this message frequently in 10.3/x6_64 and local opinion was a failing disk. Changed disk, build 11.0b3 and it reappeared so changed IDE cable and it stopped -- for two days and then came back after a reboot for the new kernel, about every 4 mins or so. I looked via Google and it seems that it occurs but I did not find an explanation.
