I finally got my 2.4.2 kernel to compile and did the modules etc. It boots up until it gets the following error: ( kernel 2.2.4 booting) failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k binfmt -464c, error=8 then gets stuck in a loop and the erro r keeps repeating. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OK, here are the modules I have loaded now in 2.2.16 cat /proc/modules: tulip 33400 1 (autoclean) pci-scan 2608 0 (autoclean) [tulip] memstat 1476 0 (unused) g_NCR5380 19396 0 (unused) serial 42484 0 (autoclean) What is modprobe trying to load that is hanging my system? I tried using a configuration file from the kernel source in 2.2.16 but that didn't work too weel either. Does anyone know of a generic .config file to compile a 2.4.2 kernel to match the kernel options in 2.2.16 included with SuSE 7.0? If so where can I get it. thanks in advance, joe
Did you get modutils version 2.4.2? If you have, try re-installaling it. Matt On Fri, 23 Feb 2001, joe wrote:

Hi Joe, Modprobe is trying to load the binfmt module. I thought there used to be several of these (at least up to 2.4.1 there was binfmt_elf, binfmt_aout, etc.), maybe this has changed in 2.4.1. In any event, the first thing to check is that you have compiled support for elf and a.out binaries _into_ the kernel, _not_ as modules. These settings are under "General Options" in the kernel configuration.
