Strange warnings in quartus 2

I have a system in which I am trying to run program code from sdram through sdram controller on the DE2 board. The clock signal for the SDRAM is generated from a clock signal output of PLL with phase shift of -3ns. After compiling I get the following strange warnings 

 

Warning: Tri-state node(s) do not directly drive top-level pin(s) 

Warning: Converted the fan-out from the tri-state buffer "first_nios2_system:inst|sdram:the_sdram|zs_dq[15]" to the node "first_nios2_system:inst|sdram:the_sdram|za_data[15]" into an OR gate

What do these strange warnings mean? Could they be the reason for my verify failed messages when I try to run program code? Help please!!

are your SDRAM pins connected directly from the SOPC Builder instantiation to pins on the top level of the design?

Yes the output lines from the SDRAM controller are connected to the corresponding output pins. I also get a warning about the SDRAM_CKE pin being stuck at VCC when it is also directly connected from the SOPC generated system to the SDRAM_CKE output pin. I have no clue what could be causing it. I will post my schematic later on when I get the chance.
