that is the infinite loop error I get when boot the new 2.4.5 kernel.
I'm currently running 2.2.x, but I updated the modutils with the latestest version RPM 2.4.6

What can be causing this.

Did you compile "'MISC' Binary Support" into your kernel? That's what binfmt is. It's in one of the first few kernel configuration categories. "General Setup", I think.

YES, I did. Should I remove support for.

Did you compile it directly into the kernel? Maybe one of your modules configuration files is still trying to load it as a module during bootup (/etc/modules or modules.conf or conf.modules -- it varies by distro).

I did a Google search, and other people have had this problem, but I couldn't really get anything out of it.
