When linux boots there is a plethora of messages which really bugs me.

You probably need to recompile your kernel for that. There is a patch available. Look for "framebuffer".

I am relatively new to linux and when I get some major problems I get atleast one suggestion to ' compile the kernel ' . What does it mean?
Kernel-HOWTO. The core of the Linux system, the kernel, is < 1MB in size but has several megabytes of source code which may be under /usr/src/linux. Recompile that with appropriate parameters by reading the Kernel-HOWTO.
