Description Stephen Wong 2000-10-13 10:50:26 UTC 
The system is not stable if you run

    insmod loop
    or
    modprobe -s -k block-major-7

the process will never exit and the CPU load keep increasing.
Comment 1 Jakub Jelinek 2000-10-13 11:02:04 UTC 
This is the loop asynchronous daemon which forgets to set its name properly,
so it looks like insmod/modprobe is running.
