request_module: runaway loop modprobe net-pf-1

[Ashlesha Shintre <ashlesha@kenati.com>]

Hi,

During boot up on the Encore M3 board (AU1500 MIPS) of the 2.6.14.6
kernel, the process stops after the NFS filesystem has been mounted,
memory freed  and spits out the following message:


> request_module: runaway loop modprobe net-pf-1

I can ping to the board and see that the control periodically goes back
to the flush_local_tlb_all function in the arch/mips/mm/tlb-r4k.c file
and prints a line that I have put in..

What does the net-pf-1 mean?

Thanks
Ashlesha.
