Many times in my experience it tries to load things I really don't need/want so I turn it off(which requires running a kernel with the kernel module loader(CONFIG_KMOD in 2.2.19) disabled. I've been running in this configuration for a few years. In most cases you'll have to recompile the kernel to disable this option, I am not aware of any default debian kernels which come with it disabled. nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

When you try to execute something and the kernel can't find anything to handle it, it makes a last-ditch attempt to find a handler by taking the first two bytes of the file, converting them to hexadecimal, prepending binfmt-, and trying to load that module. That's what ThanhVu is seeing. You can safely ignore it, or find out what's trying to execute those files and stop it from doing so. You *could* use binfmt-support to map --magic '\xe0\xff' to /bin/false or something, but that's a pretty tangential relationship. :) Alternatively, if you can't find whatever's doing the rogue execute and you don't care, just 'alias binfmt-e0ff off' in /etc/modutils/aliases and run update-modules, which will shut the kernel up about this. -- Colin Watson [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
