What all do you have on the PCI bus? The error message is being created by a
scsi driver, so could be a failing drive on the SCSI bus. Only real way to tell
is to remove each PCI card one at a time until the error is no longer generated.

This is just iptables dropping some packet because it matched a rule to just
dump it. By chaning the SPT part, makes it hard to help you figure out what set
it off.
