Hello,
I have FC6 with default latest kernel and I configured encrypted swap (using /etc/crypttab). Now when I need to use losetup to "mount" floppy disk image as a loop device, I should have module loop loaded first.
When I try "modprobe loop" modprobe hangs and starts to spawn its copies, and then I see more and more modprobe processes eating all my CPU time and swap space. The only thing which saves my system from crash is to cancel the modprobe or if I do "killall modprobe".
You need to file a bug for this. And include the contents of /etc/modprobe.conf in the report.
