My original thought is about Rusty.

The `check for truncated module' patch is clearly triggering when it should
not be. It then incorrectly returns "success" from load_module() even
though load_module() failed.

A `patch -R' of

ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.1/2.6.1-mm1/broken-out/check-for-truncated-modules.patch

should fix it up.
