What you are observing is not conflicts, but most likely
packages/options with unsatisfied prerequisites. When you
create a configuration with the RedBoot template, that only
gets you the minimum set of packages. In particular, not
all RedBoot target environments will have FLASH or networking
devices, so those [major] packages are not part of the minimal
template.
In order to set the default IP address in the configuration,
first you need to have network support. Try adding the
'ethernet device driver' and those other options will now
become available to you.
