Kernel Problem

[Mikenell]

I compiled a new kernel but when i try to boot it I get this:

kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k binfmt-464c, errno = 8

Repeated a lot down the screen, I down't think it ever ends! I can get back in with my old kernel to change stuff if I need to, so does anyone know what I've done wrong?
Btw, this is kernel 2.2.18.
Thanks

I thought you needed your system up and running by this weekend and now your recompiling your kernel? Just can't leave well enough alone can we? http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/biggrin.gif

I'm certainly not a kernel expert or even a Linux expert. Is binfmt-464c a module that is trying to be loaded? Can you find it somewhere on your system? How about kernel.org? Anything there about the error? I would think there would be a list of kernel error messages. Hope you find it...

It is running fine http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/tongue.gif and I think compiling your own kernel is necessary, plus you can always go back to your old one if it messes up. Plus I need to to add support for my sound.

I had made ELF binaries a module and not compiled it into the kernel so now its fixed.

Yeah, that'll mess you up. As well as doing the ext2 filesystem as a module.
