Hi. I have this weird problem. Since yesterday, when i did the system pre-test for kylix open edition (it detected the loader bug so i need to upgrade the glibc, it's among some of the updates that i haven't downloaded yet because of size, about 15-16Mb on a sucky connection), the system started showing very high CPU usage (top shows between 0.0 and 0.1 idle time) all the time. Checking, i discovered modprobe running all the time, but not consuming much cpu. I then did a check on the system logs, and found this (snip of log follows): Sep 20 13:40:01 localhost modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module binfmt-0000 Sep 20 13:40:32 localhost last message repeated 442 times Sep 20 13:41:33 localhost last message repeated 828 times Sep 20 13:42:34 localhost last message repeated 692 times Sep 20 13:43:35 localhost last message repeated 432 times It's between 400 and 900 times per minute as i've checked. The fact that it's trying to load shows that maybe a program with a non-elf file format it's trying to load, but i don't see anything like that. It's poisoning my logs and using-up the cpu time i should be wasting :) Seriously, i haven't found the cause to this, so i'd appreciate any suggestions. --------------------------------------- Microsoft: Writing viruses has never been easier!
