Same problem here.
avatar@ulfheim:/lib/modules/2.1.0/fs# modprobe floppy create_module: Unknown error 1048395776 avatar@ulfheim:/lib/modules/2.1.0/fs# lsmod Module: #pages: Used by: floppy 11 (uninitialized) avatar@ulfheim:/lib/modules/2.1.0/fs# modprobe floppy A module named floppy already exists avatar@ulfheim:/lib/modules/2.1.0/fs# rmmod floppy avatar@ulfheim:/lib/modules/2.1.0/fs# modprobe fat create_module: Unknown error 1048395776 avatar@ulfheim:/lib/modules/2.1.0/fs# rmmod fat avatar@ulfheim:/lib/modules/2.1.0/fs# /sbin/irqtune 2 9 irqtune: setting system IRQ priority to 2/9 irqtune: insmod failed on '/sbin/irqtune_mod.o' avatar@ulfheim:/lib/modules/2.1.0/fs#
Also, just noticed that the error # is dependant on the number of modules already loaded, in case that helps anyone...
Oh yes, and another thing about 2.1.0, the pentium-memcpy patch won't apply (certainly not surprising, considering 2.1.0 changes so many of the files concerning memory), though I didn't fiddle with it trying to get it to apply to see if it still worked at all (thinking of how I could screw that one up scares me :).
