Thanks for the info... Yeah the only errors I see in /var/log/messages are:

smartd[2019]: Device: /dev/hda, 38 Currently unreadable (pending) sectors smartd[2019]: Device: /dev/hda, 34 Offline uncorrectable sectors

So obviously there is an issue with some sectors on the hard drive.. just don't know how much I should worry about it at this time...

If the drive is still under warranty you might want to run the smartctl tests or the vendor's diagnostics (might require moving to a windows box). Otherwise just make sure you have a backup of anything critical (good advice in any case).
