https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=333689 Summary: "request_module: runaway loop" after kernel update to 2.6.22.9-0.4 Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: vonRadziewski@gmx.de QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- The problem occurred after a kernel upgrade using the opensuse-updater on my openSUSE 10.3 64 bit system (Lenovo ThinkPad Z61m) with default kernel 2.6.22.5-31 to 2.6.22.9-0.4. Upon reboot, the system failed to continue booting: Right after the message "Freeing unused Kernel memory: 232k freed" the error "request_module: runaway loop modprobe binfmt-464c" was displayed several times followed only by the system recognizing the touchpad and the trackpoint. The system was responsive to Ctrl-Alt-Del and shut down correctly. Unplugging of USB devices did not result in restoring the booting capabilities. The kernel patch had to be undone using the 10.3 installation CD and a backup of the kernel directories. BTW, the /usr/src/linux-2.6.22.5-31 directory had been deleted by the update. Unfortunately, none of the logs from /var/log/ contain the error message described (assumably to early in the booting process). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
