dear all, 1. whenever i boot, i get warnings that modules rtl8139, ppp and sg can't be found by modprobe. for example:
Calculating module dependencies done Loading modules: ppp modprobe: Can't locate module ppp 2. presumably, this is because they were once built as modules, but are now either built right into the kernel or not needed, so i compiled the kernel without the feature. 3. it doesn't "harm" anything. it's just a warning. 4. the messages don't appear in dmesg, or any log file i know about. question: granted this is not a life-threatening error, but why doesn't modprobe log these errors? surely ANY warning concerning the loading of kernel modules would be of general interest?!? thanks! peter
