My syslog has Jan 1 11:29:47 rakefet modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-14 Jan 1 11:29:48 rakefet last message repeated 2 times
from time to time. Although I have not tried it yet, I believe having the line alias char-major-14 off in /etc/modutils/aliases and running update-modules will eliminate it. Yet I wonder why do I get these lines in the first place? In particular, I have the following in /etc/modules.conf: # alias char-major-14 sb # options adlib_card io=0x388 # FM synthesizer # options sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330 # options sbpcd 0x230,SoundBlaster So why does modprobe -c has in its output the line: alias char-major-14 soundcore ? Another questions is about the frequency that these syslog messages get written. Is it done every time the shell is ringing the bell? -- Shaul Karl email: shaulka(at-no-spam)bezeqint.net Please replace (at-no-spam) with an at - @ - character.
