debian stable on sparc. In /var/log/syslog I'm seeing multiple reports of
modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-4 and in /var/log/ksymoops/*.log I'm seeing multiple reports of start /sbin/modprobe -s -k char-major-4 safemode=1 Furthermore, login terminals appear to respawning unacceptably fast immediately after the message above. Extract from /var/log/syslog: May 3 16:53:22 grunt modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-4 May 3 16:53:53 grunt last message repeated 19 times May 3 16:54:54 grunt last message repeated 36 times May 3 16:54:55 grunt last message repeated 4 times May 3 16:55:03 grunt init: Id "1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes May 3 16:55:04 grunt init: Id "2" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes May 3 16:55:05 grunt init: Id "3" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes May 3 16:55:05 grunt init: Id "4" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes May 3 16:55:05 grunt init: Id "6" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes May 3 16:55:05 grunt init: Id "5" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes May 3 17:00:06 grunt modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-4 May 3 17:00:37 grunt last message repeated 20 times May 3 17:01:38 grunt last message repeated 36 times May 3 17:01:39 grunt last message repeated 3 times May 3 17:01:47 grunt init: Id "2" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes May 3 17:01:47 grunt init: Id "1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes May 3 17:01:48 grunt init: Id "3" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes May 3 17:01:49 grunt init: Id "4" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes May 3 17:01:49 grunt init: Id "5" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes May 3 17:01:49 grunt init: Id "6" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes Suggestions?
