Hi,

Helped someone install 0.9.2 on a B180 (serial console) and following
the instructions, basically got it up and running.  He needed some help
with setting up apt (pointing to HP internal mirror).

But I couldn't figure out what was causing the following error msg
to get printed on the console every minute or so:

    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

Any ideas?

This B180 is up-to-date but still running 2.4.0-32 vmlinux
(original kernels from 0.9.2 I think).
