This is indeed where the problem was. A line in the modprobe config files was supposed to cause dcdbas to load, but was instead causing modprobe to call itself repeatedly for dcdbas. I don't know why an incorrect line was there, but removing it from the config allows dcdbas to load without problem manually, and the autoload patch loads it automatically. Sincere apologies to everyone for causing the fire drill on a false alarm. Since fixing my config makes things work again, and nobody else sees the problem, the autoload patch should stay. Thanks for the help tracking down the issue.
