With the latest 2.5-bk (and module-init-tools), my logs are polluted with lines like: FATAL: Error running install command for block_major_2 triggered with # cat /dev/fd0 where the corresponding line in modprobe.conf is: install block-major-2 /bin/true
The problem is reproductible with any 'install' command in modprobe.conf.
Looking at modprobe source, it fails on the system() call. The fork()/exec() part works corectly (/bin/true get executed), but wait4() fails with -ECHILD.
Running 'modprobe block-major-2' from the console works as expected.
I believe this is once again related to the exec_usermodehelper() routines...
