1 Hi all,
2
3 I'm trying to build a new duel quad-core server and I'm having some problems.
4
5 Just after it loads the keymap, I get this error:
6
7 request_module: runaway loop modprobe binfmt-464c
8
9 A few minutes later, it panics.
10
11 I'm loading from a pendrive that I've used before to build servers, so I don't
12 THINK it's the installation media.
13
14 Some of the search results I got from Goggle (who is my friend, btw) indicated
15 that it might be a problem with drive labels. After unplugging both drives
16 and retrying, I'm convinced thats not the case.
17
18 Other chatter indicated that I was booting a 32-bin kernel in a 64-bit OS, or
19 vise versa. Based solely on the name of the failing module, this has some
20 credibility, but seems like a stretch since I've not changed the pendrive.
21
22 Anyone else seen, and fixed, this problem before? Any advise would be
23 welcome.
