 |
|
I am working through a new installation. All is going well, but I get
The binfmt-misc module needs to be loaded by the modules service or built in.
in rc.log.
I am using sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel for the first time. It has CONFIG_BINFMT_MISC=m.
The module does load.
lsmod | grep -i binfm
binfmt_misc 24576 1
The machine seems to be running fine. But any suggestions would be welcome. |

| Well, first you'll have to figure out which service or application triggers that message (if there is no direct hint in the log, check entries before/after the error message to determine where in the boot sequence it happens). My random guess would be that it is some firmware or microcode update as "normal" services have no need for mod_binfmt. Unless you're trying to run windows-only software at boot via wine or something similar strange. |

Thanks for the reply. The output is generated by /etc/init.d/procfs
| Code: |
if [ -d /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc ] &&
[ ! -e /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register ]; then
if ! grep -qs binfmt_misc /proc/filesystems &&
modprobe -q binfmt-misc; then
ewarn "The binfmt-misc module needs to be loaded by" \
"the modules service or built in."
