| | I'm getting similar messages from dmesg after upgrading to 2.6.1, too:
| |
| | request_module: failed /sbin/modprobe -- n. error = 256
| |
| | [drees@summit drees]$ /sbin/modprobe -V
| | module-init-tools version 3.0-pre5
| | [drees@summit drees]$
| |
| | Running on Fedora Core 1 compiled with gcc 3.3.2. Didn't see these with

|
| Yes, I see a couple of similar messages:
|
| request_module: failed /sbin/modprobe -- parport_lowlevel. error = -16
| request_module: failed /sbin/modprobe -- fb0. error = 256
|
| ...?

I don't think that it's related to IPsec since I'm not using that.

I'm looking at the changes in kernel/kmod.c for 2.6.1 to see if they
could cause it.
