I have installed Linux Pro (a Red hat variant) and everything seems to
work well except that it is slow to boot.

DMESG is usually full with the message

ARP called for own IP address.

Not found anything on ARP except man page which tells me how to run it
but not what it does.

Thus I'd appreciate a note, or pointer to a reference, which tells me
what ARP does and then what to do to fix this problem and preferably why
- so I learn something.

Since the rest of the system works well I'm reluctant to re-install.
