Subject: UML broken - runaway loop modprobe binfmt-464c
Date: Mon, 15 Feb 2010 16:47:49 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4B78EE15.9020407@shikadi.net> (raw)
Hi all,
I've been forced to upgrade an old machine running a couple of UML VMs, but I
can't for the life of me figure out how to make them work on the new machine.
I've compiled the latest kernel from kernel.org with ARCH=um and when I run it
says this a few times and then stops:
request_module: runaway loop modprobe binfmt-464c
From Google it appears the cause of this is when you run a 64-bit system with
a 32-bit kernel, but I'm running a 64-bit kernel with a 32-bit system. I
vaguely recall something about IA32 emulation in the normal kernel build, but
I can't see anything like that in the UML kernel config.
Does anyone know what might fix this?
Many thanks,
Adam.
