Subject: [gentoo-user] request_module: runaway loop
Date: Sun, 29 Aug 2010 23:06:05 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <201008292306.06453.mdiehl@diehlnet.com> (raw)

Hi all,

I'm trying to build a new duel quad-core server and I'm having some problems.

Just after it loads the keymap, I get this error:

request_module: runaway loop modprobe binfmt-464c

A few minutes later, it panics.

I'm loading from a pendrive that I've used before to build servers, so I don't 
THINK it's the installation media.

Some of the search results I got from Goggle (who is my friend, btw) indicated 
that it might be a problem with drive labels.  After unplugging both drives 
and retrying, I'm convinced thats not the case.

Other chatter indicated that I was booting a 32-bin kernel in a 64-bit OS, or 
vise versa.  Based solely on the name of the failing module, this has some 
credibility, but seems like a stretch since I've not changed the pendrive.

Anyone else seen, and fixed, this problem before?  Any advise would be 
welcome.

-- 

Take care and have fun,
Mike Diehl.
