the topic says it all really.
but for the sake of completness
Debian --Unstable
kernel 2.4.0
modutils 2.4.1
the problem is more of an annoyance than anything else but its something I would like ot get sorted.
on boot everything goes well until the very last 6 lines which says something about sit0 not being found by modprobe which is fair enough cos it doesn't exist. What I would like to know is how to stop modprobe looking for it.
This has been going on since I re-installed the system back in december and is really starting to bug me. Its the only boot error I get and I just want to get rid of it. If you can help please let me know as I've been at this thing for weeks with no luck. Although on the way I learnt a lot and cleaned up a lot of useless stuff that I didn't want.
Thanks in advance.

sit0 is some kind of network/tunneling/ipv6 thing. Seeing the error message, along with 5 or 6 lines before and after it might help.

It sounds like something is trying to setup tunneling and it can't find the module it needs. So I'm thinking you might want to try to find out what is trying to set up tunneling, and just disabling that (if you don't need it).

That helps,thanks.
I would have posted sections of my log files but for some reason none of them seem to have recorded that entry. Oh well now I know what the module does I an find whats loading it.
Thanks again.
