Subject: [gentoo-server] Boot message: "ds: no socket drivers loaded!"

1 I recently recompiled my kernel and I am getting the following message
2 during boot (see the "no socket drivers loaded" message below):
3
4 ... blah blah blah ...
5 NET4: Linux TCP/IP 1.0 for NET4.0
6 IP Protocols: ICMP, UDP, TCP, IGMP
7 IP: routing cache hash table of 4096 buckets, 32Kbytes
8 TCP: Hash tables configured (established 32768 bind 65536)
9 NET4: Unix domain sockets 1.0/SMP for Linux NET4.0.
10 -> ds: no socket drivers loaded!
11 kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds
12 EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.
13 ... blah blah blah ...
14
15 At first, I thought it might be a missing driver or something similar.
16 That is the only thing Googling turned up. However, after boot, almost
17 everything seems to work normally; that is, Apache and SSH start
18 normally and I can SSH in and pull up web pages.
19
20 In addition, dmesg seems to indicate that the eepro100 driver detects my
21 devices OK. (See below my sig for the dmesg output.)
22
23 The only symptom I've discovered is the top segfaults. If I boot into
24 an earlier kernel, no segfault. I should note I'm also getting a
25 kernel "oops" during boot and the oops trace mentions the function
26 "Trace; c01f8656 <uptime_read_proc+86/180>" so that may be responsible
27 to the top behavior as well.
28
29 I don't even know where to start to get to the bottom of this. Is the
30 message an error? Completely benign? Something in between?
31
32 Any suggestions?
33
34 Thanks!
