2.6.1-mm1 - OOPs and hangs during modprobe

[Valdis . Kletnieks]

Summary: 2.6.1-mm1 gives an OOPs while doing a modprobe.  Subsequent
references to /proc/modules hang (causing hangs while doing a 'shutdown'
because of scripts trying to rmmod modules.  lsmod and 'cat /proc/modules'
hang as well after the oops.

This one's from trying to load ip_conntrack_ftp:

My original thought was that the ip_conntrack_ftp.ko got corrupted,
but the 6978 is the same size as it's been since at least 2.6.0-mm2,
and this oops is *after* I'd hit one and done an 'rm -rf /lib/modules/2.6.1-mm1'
and 'make modules_install'.  And it isn't just ip_conntrack_ftp:

(this time, while trying to 'modprobe aes':

Yes, this one's nvidia-tainted, the other one wasn't, so it isn't nvidia ;)

Any ideas?
