"char-major-97" refers to a device file which is a "character" device
file and has a "major" number of 97. I don't have RH 7, but at least in
RH 6.2, "char-major-97" is the pg device files, though I have no idea
what the pg device files are used for. They are most likely the same in
RH 7.
# ls -al /dev/pg*
crw------- 1 root sys 97, 0 Apr 17 1999 /dev/pg0
crw------- 1 root sys 97, 1 Apr 17 1999 /dev/pg1
crw------- 1 root sys 97, 2 Apr 17 1999 /dev/pg2
crw------- 1 root sys 97, 3 Apr 17 1999 /dev/pg3
I don't know why they would be missing, but check to see whether you
have those files. If not, they are easy to create:
# mknod /dev/pg0 c 97 0
# mknod /dev/pg1 c 97 1
# mknod /dev/pg2 c 97 2
# mknod /dev/pg3 c 97 3
If you have them, you could try adding this line to /etc/modules.conf
alias char-major-97 pg
And then reboot. I don't know whether that would actually help, though.
This is definitely still a grey area to me.
