Subject: dmesg gives me request_module fail 2.6.1

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.

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.
