Topic: Can't boot LiveCD: runaway loop

Attempting to boot the LiveCD (ver. 0.3.4-7) (first and second boot options, maybe others), I get four lines of "request_module: runaway loop modprobe binfmt-1024".
Should this module not be loading, is there something wrong in a script, or what?

I figured I should ask you guys first, because I don't want to go monkeying around in things I just met.

Re: Can't boot LiveCD: runaway loop

After a bit more playing around with other LiveCDs, it would appear the problem lies with the ohci_hcd module.
I don't know if it's the module, a script being executed improperly, or what.

Of course, I don't even know if that's the problem here.
In any case, would it be possible to prevent this module from loading somehow? I don't need USB support (which I think is what it provides).

Yes :
edit grub line and add :
noload=ohci_hcd
should work

Re: Can't boot LiveCD: runaway loop

I'm sorry, that's the wrong one.

It's the binfmt-1024 one here, and "noload=binfmt-1024" doesn't do anything. I still get the runaway loop.
