Boot messages on Leopard 10.5.1

During boot my MacBook pro with 10.5.1 writes lots of messages into  
system.log. Usually I don't care much but this morning I was trying to  
track some other problems and noted many error messages (errors during  
boot?) that I 'd like to unterstand better. Anyone out there able to  
shed some light? Do these messages point to real problems or is this  
just some background noise?

Btw: the system is an "archive and install" type upgrade from Tiger  
10.4.10

Here are just the relevant messages. The full context can be found  
further down:
