Both are known errors... if you mean "route forgot to specify netmask" by
that eth0 init script error...
a) is a bug in /kernel/module.c, line 586...
change it to "space += strlen(s->name)+1;" ... ((++s)) is the bug ;)
b) is networking changes and can be ignored in most cases...
you can fix the line causing it if you want to.. (add netmask to route
command in scripts;)
