Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur:2.6.21 Distribution: gentoo Hardware Environment: IBM Thinkpad T43 Software Environment: Problem Description: I can't boot all 2.6.22_rc* kernels with an initrd. When booting I get the following message about 6 times: request_module: runaway loop modprobe binfmt-0000 If I disable the initrd, booting works without problems. Steps to reproduce:
Created attachment 11882 [details] The kernel config I know this is a patched kernel. But this is a vanilla issue as I tested.
