Hi All,

  Here's a strange one...

  I'm bringing up a 2.4.0-testX kernel (Paul's latest PMac tree) and the kernel
does come up quite a ways (tho how far is a bit hard to tell as things scroll by
and scroll lock doesn't work)

If you compile MagicSysRq support in, you can stop scrolling by
"SysRq-0" (that is F13 + zero).

I get the following repeated item on my screen ... so imagine this line times N

/sbin/modprobe -s -k binfmt_4c46 errno=8

Well errno 8 is Exec format error as I recall...    time to upgrade modutils?

Anyone with any suggestions or have seen this one before?

Yeah, seen this before:

and my solution:

Thanks much for the pointers.

I am experiencing this with Cort's current development kernel tree. Based on the
previous posting you had in theory all I needed to do was just grab a fresh
kernel which I did this morning. The same problem surfaced. So something is
definately wrong with the Cort's 2.4.0-test5 tree.

I took a gander at elf.h. The only change I see is



2.3.99-pre9

#define elf_check_arch(x) ((x) == EM_PPC)

2.4.0-test5-Cort

#define elf_check_arch(x) ((x)->e_machine == EM_PPC)

This appearantly is used 3 times fs/binfmt_elf.c

2.3.99-pre9

if (!elf_check_arch(interp_elf_ex->e_machine))

2.4.0-test5-Cort

if (!elf_check_arch(&elf_ex))

So while the code changed it would appear to be consistant at least....

Guess I'll have to keep digging!

I'm curious what your reason was for getting this.

Me too!

Regards,

Tom
