2.3.13 boot problem - failed to exec /sbin/modprobe

I just compiled and installed 2.3.13 on a basically stock RedHat 6.0
installation. The boot proceeds up until:

VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.
Freeing unused kernel memory: 76k freed
kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k binfmt-0000, errno=2
kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k binfmt-0000, errno=2

What is "binfmt-0000"? I see modules "binfmt_aout.o" and "binfmt_misc.o"
in my /lib/modules/2.3.13/fs directory. Are these somehow related?
(CONFIG_BINFMT_ELF=y in my .config)

Software: egcs-2.91.66, modutils-2.1.121-12

Hardware: Soyo BX motherboard, Celeron 300A (not overclocked for this
test), 128MB SDRAM. 10GB EIDE hard drive. /boot resides under 1024
cylinder barrier, / resides above 1024 cylinder barrier.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike.
