[parisc-linux] Irritating console message in 0.9.2 iso

I have installed 0.9.2 on my two 712's (a /60 & a /80) with no problems
(except learning about Debian).
I am however bothered by a message which is displayed on the console at
irregular (I think) intervals - sort of in bursts, then stops for a bit.
The message makes it impossible to use dselect to proceed with the rest of
the installation - the menu items in dselect get overwritten and it's not
possible to determine what I have selected etc.

The message is:
ip_local_deliver: bad loopback skb: PRE_ROUTING LOCAL_IN
skb: pf=2(unowned) dev=lo len=328
PROTO=17 0.0.0.0:68 255.255.255.255:67 L=328 S=0x10 I=0 F-0x0000 T=16

Now that is not cut and paste but the words are correct.

Hope someone has an answer!
