Can anyone tell me what these boot messages mean, and should I be concerned? SuSE 5.3 and everything SEEMS to work fine.

Partition check: hda:hda: set_multimode: status = 0x51 {DriveReady SeekComplete Error} hda: set_multimode: error = 0x04 {DriveStatus Error}

You should be converned. It seems, that your hard disk is having some trouble. Try to disable UDMA in your bios, or start linux with the following boot option: ide0=noautotune. Also check your cabling to the hard disk, maybe you have a bad connection or a too long cable.
