When I bring up the loopback and ethernet interfaces on my Linux box,
the following one hundred error messages appear in the system log:
modprobe: can't locate module lo:0
modprobe: can't locate module lo:1
modprobe: can't locate module lo:2
...
modprobe: can't locate module lo:48
modprobe: can't locate module lo:49
modprobe: can't locate module eth0:0
modprobe: can't locate module eth0:1
modprobe: can't locate module eth0:2
...
modprobe: can't locate module eth0:48
modprobe: can't locate module eth0:49
What in the world is the kernel looking for? Those names look like IP
alias interface names. But my kernel is compiled with CONFIG_IP_ALIAS
turned off.
I am running a mostly-RedHat-6.0 machine, with self-compiled kernel
version 2.2.10, on an i586, with networking tools from the
net-tools-1.52-2 and initscripts-4.19-1 RPM packages.
[ I originally reported this issue to <linux-net>, where it was met with
resounding silence, so now I'm trying here. ]
