[arm-allstar] Network Configuration

[John]

Gentlemen: it is with elation and trepidation that I write this post....
I'm delighted to have found the problem, but embarrassed to share the
cause. Chalk yet another one up to operator error. An ID10T error to be
precise.

In editing /etc/netctl/eth0, I inadvertently added /24 to my gateway
(Gateway= 10.159.66.1/24)

/24 removed. Problem solved. The boot message errors are still there, but
as Doug indicated, they do not seem to matter.

Perhaps the hours spent chasing ghosts will be worthwhile if my stupidity
can keep others from making the same mistake.
Thanks to all for your help. Maybe now I can get a little sleep....

John
