request_module: failed /sbin/modprobe -- net-pf-10. error = 65280


This is what dmesg returns, about three pages worth of those.  I just upgraded from 2.6.0 to 2.6.1.  Never had this problem before, changed nothing in kernel config, just did 'make oldconfig', and 'make bzImage'..  

??

I get similar messages as well. net-pf-10 is ipv6, and the messages are
triggered when cron runs sendmail every ten minutes. Have no why, but
that's what's happening here.

Best regards,
Stian

net-pf-10 is IPv6, if you don't have that in your kernel, add the
following to your `/etc/modprobe.conf'...

  install net-pf-10 /bin/true

sure, but why did this start happening on 2.6.1 and not on 2.6.0? hmm..

A more recent module-init-tools will not return failure when asked to
modprobe something it's never heard of (with -q, which the kernel uses,
despite that misleading message)  eg:

	modprobe -q -- aalsfdhjlsfdjkhsfhkh

Will "succeed".
Cheers,
Rusty.

Nah.. sorry :)
