[parisc-linux] Irritating console message in 0.9.2 iso

[parisc-linux] Irritating console message in 0.9.2 iso

[Herb Radford]

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!

Regards, Herb

to the errata, which I believe will solve your problem.

I wiil add that this is a effective fix although quick and dirty. 

But first, you must stop the message by shutting down the dhcp client. 

Running "/etc/init.d/dhcp-client stop" as root will stop the messages from
displaying on the console immediately. 

Then, you can remove the dhcp-client startup scripts if you like.

An alternative solution to this problem is to change line 17 in
/etc/init.d/dhcp-client from "grep -q" to "grep -v -q" to prevent the dhcp
client from starting when the machine is rebooted.

The dhcp-client .deb has been updated since the 0.9.2 ISO, so you
coul dinstall an updated package, which would have the same effect.
