It just means that you have a bogus line in your configuration. There's no snd-ioctl32 module in your system. > > The main point is that it gets in a loop, and eats away more and more > memory.

Ok, I found the problem. modprobe is trying to load module's dependencies even if it is an install command and not a real module. > modprobe-c.txt contains, predictably, the output of "modprobe -c". What a huge amount of the install commands!!!! Why do you need all those? I'll fix kmod, but you should start using softdeps instead of using install commands to create dependencies.
