What's that all about?

It's a kernel configuration parameter. I'm not sure exactly what it does, but I did have to set this on my Ubuntu install.

Do you think this is a big problem? This still happens even after I changed the sources.list file from hardy to gutsy.

Did you change all of your sources from hardy to gutszy? You should leave your apt sources alone. Changing from one repo version to a previous one could cause issues. I'm not sure how to fix it. Maybe run apt-get or aptitude with the clean option?

Unrelated questions: I downloaded the pinky version of Poky. Is it useful for anything? Looks like the poky directory supplied by iRex is all I need, right?
What is OpenEmbedded cross-compile environment useful for? Is this part of the development process or is it one of the underlying pieces that we don't need to worry about?

I think iRex has provided most of what's needed for poky. It's been a while though, so I'm not sure which external packages were needed and what was not.
