These errors are caused by the kernel (?) trying to load some modules it had
in it's default installation. You have not specified these items to be
compiled, so they cannot be loaded. I think net-pf-4 and 5 have something to
do with appletalk and IPX. The easiest way to get rid of these (non-fatal)
error messages is to put the following in your /etc/conf.modules
alias net-pf-4 off
alias net-pf-5 off
alias net-pf-6 off
That is the response I got when i posted a similar message months ago.

> modprobe: ... module net-pf-5

> Then I tried updating my rpms for kernel 2.2.2.
> I get the same boot errors but it repeats about 5 or 6 times.

> I updated all my rpms with what's on redhat's site for both kernels.

> This isn't so much a networking bug but the module is net-pf-#.
