In my case binfmt was looking for a unix bin loader on ipup/down. binfmt is a set of modules for the kernel to load various files. In conf.modules put "alias binfmt-0000 binfmt_aout" so it can find the one it wants. There is also a java and other modules, depending on which one is required. There is not a lot of info around on this problem BillK
