Hello.

In article <Pine.LNX.4.64.0702202043280.4043@...dy.linux-foundation.org> (at Tue, 20 Feb 2007 20:53:45 -0800 (PST)), Linus Torvalds <torvalds@...ux-foundation.org> says:

I cannot boot 2.6.21-rc1; it falls into OOM-Killer.

Interesting error message I can see is:
   request_module: runaway loop modprobe net-pf-1

After bisecting, the commit
  Driver core: let request_module() send a /sys/modules/kmod/-uevent
(id c353c3fb0700a3c17ea2b0237710a184232ccd7f) is to blame.

Reverting it fixes the issue to me.
