    Since compiling and installing 2.6.1, I, like many others, get these
    repeated error messages:

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    Jan 29 22:48:56 kernel: request_module: failed /sbin/modprobe -- net-pf-10. error = 256
    Jan 29 22:53:01 kernel: request_module: failed /sbin/modprobe -- net-pf-10. error = 256
    Jan 29 22:56:28 kernel: request_module: failed /sbin/modprobe -- net-pf-10. error = 256
    Jan 29 23:08:01 kernel: request_module: failed /sbin/modprobe -- net-pf-10. error = 256
    Jan 29 23:14:48 kernel: request_module: failed /sbin/modprobe -- net-pf-10. error = 256
    Jan 29 23:23:01 kernel: request_module: failed /sbin/modprobe -- net-pf-10. error = 256
    Jan 29 23:31:40 kernel: request_module: failed /sbin/modprobe -- net-pf-10. error = 256
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    I do not have ipv6 support in my kernel-config:

    # CONFIG_INET_IPCOMP is not set
    # CONFIG_IPV6 is not set
    # CONFIG_DECNET is not set

    The version of module-init-tools is 3.0-pre5-1 from Debian testing.

    Is there any guidance about this little annoyance yet? Most of the
    advice I've seen (on other lists) suggests putting the following in
    modprobe.conf:

       install net-pf-10 /bin/true

    But this has made no difference for me.

    There seems to be a correlation between the issue of the error-message
    and regular exim runs:

    Jan 29 22:53:01 ohlone /USR/SBIN/CRON[284]: (mail) CMD ( if [ -x /usr/lib/exim/exim3 -a -f /etc/exim/exim.conf ]; then /usr/lib
    /exim/exim3 -q ; fi)
    Jan 29 22:53:01 ohlone kernel: request_module: failed /sbin/modprobe -- net-pf-10. error = 256

    Jan 30 00:23:01 ohlone /USR/SBIN/CRON[311]: (mail) CMD ( if [ -x /usr/lib/exim/exim3 -a -f /etc/exim/exim.conf ]; then /usr/lib/exim/exim3 -q ; fi)
    Jan 30 00:23:01 ohlone kernel: request_module: failed /sbin/modprobe -- net-pf-10. error = 256

    Almost all of the error messages from modprobe come exactly on the
    heels of a call from cron to run exim. But why should exim spawn an
    attempt to load this module? And why just with kernel 2.6.1?

    Thanks for any advice,

    Jim
