On a freshly installed "clean" SuSE 6.3 setup, the system reports continously
(/dev/console and in /var/log/:

Feb  1 02:57:34 hypernet modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module binfmt-0000
Feb  1 03:01:18 hypernet modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module binfmt-0000
Feb  1 03:01:18 hypernet modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module binfmt-0000
Feb  1 03:02:01 hypernet modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module binfmt-0000
Feb  1 03:02:01 hypernet modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module binfmt-0000
Feb  1 03:10:26 hypernet modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module binfmt-0000

The only thing that has changed, is that we changed the network card from a
NE2000 (PCI) compatible (ne2k-pci) one, used for the installation, to an
SMC EtherPower (tulip). We did that change from "ne2k" to "tulip" using YaST.

Also, during boot-up, the system STILL reports a problem in loading the NE2000
PCI driver, which ofcourse is not logged (as I guess that no logging daemon runs
at that early point of the systems startup). There is no reference to
"ne2k-pci" in
any of the configuration files though ... Lateron in the boot process, Linux
loads
the "tulip.o" driver and connects without problems to the network.

Short of re-installing from scratch, could someone provide any hints on what is
going on? I've searched the Internet on the keyword "binfmt-0000" but none
of the
stuff I found had any relevance to this situation ...

Thank you in advance for any help,

DH.
