char-major-10 is handled by the drivers/char/misc.o (which will be installed in the kernel if: #if defined (CONFIG_BUSMOUSE) || defined(CONFIG_UMISC) || \ defined (CONFIG_PSMOUSE) || defined (CONFIG_MS_BUSMOUSE) || \ defined (CONFIG_ATIXL_BUSMOUSE) || defined(CONFIG_SOFT_WATCHDOG) || \ defined (CONFIG_PCWATCHDOG) || \ defined (CONFIG_APM) || defined (CONFIG_RTC) || defined (CONFIG_SUN_MOUSE) ). If none of those options are installed into the kernel, and it will be compiled as a module if one of the above options are build as modules. Therefore there is one alias needed: alias char-major-10 misc Each single device with major 10 will be requested from kerneld with: char-major-10-%d, therefore the following aliases are needed in addition: alias char-major-10-0 busmouse alias char-major-10-1 psaux alias char-major-10-2 msbusmouse alias char-major-10-4 amigamouse alias char-major-10-5 atarimouse alias char-major-10-6 ? alias char-major-10-130 wdt (or softdog) alias char-major-10-131 wdt alias char-major-10-134 apm_bios alias char-major-10-135 rtc (this is what i read from the source, it is neighter complete nor i am sure if it is correct).
