Unfortunately, the fact that it works under the Linus tree and under the
netdev-2.6 tree does not mean that the cause of the problem has gone.
This is because the request_module calls from the DCCP tree are missing.
So one could test by
1) trying the DCCP patch on the Linus tree
http://eden-feed.erg.abdn.ac.uk/latest-dccp-test-tree.diff.gz
2) check netdev-2.6 + DCCP patches -- but you already tested this
and it was the reason for this thread.
Looking at your .config file again yesterday I noted that it sets
# CONFIG_64BIT is not set
CONFIG_X86_32=y
# CONFIG_X86_64 is not set
CONFIG_X86=y,
i.e. you are compiling a 32 bit kernel on a 64bit (Athlon) processor. On
the Sempron I use a 64 bit kernel and it works. Yesterday evening I tried
(with some difficulties) to build the 32-bit variant and, ecce, after
building it it hung in a call to request_modules for a binformat module.
Hence I think that one likely cause may be a 32/64 bit issue. Did you notice
any other module-related build problems on the 32 bit kernel? Earlier you
mentioned that SCTP also was not working.
There are other parts of the (networking) system that also call
request_module, (grep -R request_module net/), for instance if TCP
pluggable congestion control is built as a module -- I take it this is
working correctly?
