Greetings, I installed openSuse 11.4 yesterday, and am getting system error messages (/var/log/messages) as follows. The 4 Hardware Error messages are repeating every few minutes. I have no idea what this means. Can anyone clarifiy?

These errors were not noticed on those installs. No hardware changes have been made, except I have a USB HD plugged in to transfer my older docs and stuff. 32 bit on AMD Athlon.
