I had a similar problem, while the kernel tried to boot (continuous scroll of failing
to load binfmt-464c).
In my case I solved the problem by compiling the ELF-support module into the kernel
(i.e. to say 'Y' in the make xconfig, instead of 'M' for module). With the kernel now
capable of executing ELF, the kernel boots without problem.
I upgraded from Suse 6.0 (kernel 2.0.36) to kernel 2.2.6
Hope this answers your question... Or, specify what module gives the problem...

Subject: [SuSE Linux] 2.2.6 Kernel Compile
Hello
After successfully compiling a 2.2.6 kernel I have now
tried to compile the same kernel with modules.
When I reboot a kernel with modules I find that it starts up and
then about half way through the boot process the screen fills up with
text which continues to spool from bottom to top without end. I have
to reboot with the boot floppy to use the 2.0.36 kernel which came
with 6.0.
Someone has suggested to me that this is something to do with a with
a modutils package (>=2.1.121) which needs to be updated when I moved
from 2.0.x to 2.2.x. I've looked at the installed packages. I can
see a package called modules which is version 2.1.85. Surely
modutils is a Red Hat package ?
Can someone make a suggestion as to how I can get modules to work
with a 2.2.6 kernel and SuSE 6.0 ?
Thank you :-)
