For the IP fowarding, you need:
FORWARD_ipv4=yes
in the /etc/sysconfig/networks file to turn on ip forwarding on boot..
You can also turn it on after booting using:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
I am not sure about the modprobe problem - maybe someone else know
what the binfmt-0 module is...
