Sorry, this is not reproducible at all for me here. I doubt this is going to be possible to debug this without at least knowing the full modprobe commandline that's being respawned, as a starting point. > Looking at /proc/config.gz reveals that I have modules unloading > enabled. What is /proc/config.gz? There's no such file here. I do notice that you seem to have a custom kernel on your system, so it's possible that contributes to being able to reproduce this error. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
