Look at the ext3 error message. It's complaining about a block number being out of range, not any sort of I/O problem. Also I have no idea where that value of 1046521 for the total block count came from. These are 4-KB size blocks; converting to 1-KB blocks gives 4186084, which is larger than than total size listed above for /dev/sda1. The output from "fdisk -l /dev/sda" would come in useful here.
