Those errors are associated with trying to setup a network card, and the
device not being found.

hdparm is used to set different parameters for your harddrives

atd is a daemon similar to cron, but you set a job to run once and only
once, instead of re-ocurring

ipchains is for your firewall

Sounds like either one of a couple of things.  Watch it closely when you
boot it to see if it sees all of your harddrives that it should.  Possibly
not seeing/mounting a harddrive, or the other possibility that you may
have been hacked.  I might take the machine off the network if it's
connected to the internet just in case until you can resolve these
problems.

Did you try to boot into single user mode at the boot prompt?  Just
manually type in     linux single  should do it.  Then you can check out
the hardware.
