Subject: failed to exec modprobe -- serious trouble

I upgraded a few RPMs (initscripts, setup) in preparation for
trying out XFree86 4.0.1 since they were needed as
prerequisites. I them upgraded XFree86 and my PowerBook screen
went black. OK, so I rebooted.
Upon reboot, I got a message like:
kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k binfmt -4c46 errno=8
repeatedly. I'm now stuck. I can't boot into Linux any more
via BootX. Trying old kernels I have gets me the same result.
I think I'm in deep trouble. Anybody know how to fix this?
The only thing that works so far is that I can boot into the
YDL installed off the ramdisk image. Can I reinstall YDL
(without formatting the disks) and still have all my data be
there? Is there a less drastic measure?
Help!
