You can try to add to your modules.conf (or conf.modules) alias char-major-180 off alias char-major-81 off to disable autoload of these modules (since you don't have them) -- Frédéric Crozat MandrakeSoft

I checked the 2.2.16 at (I don't have the 2.2.16 sources installed): http://lxr.linux.no/source/Documentation/devices.txt thinking that what you posted was from 2.4.0, but to my surprise I found the same thing. The funny thing is that I don't have USB or a BTTV card. Usually I get this messages when I am using the printer (Epson Photo 1270), and although the printer has a usb port, I am using the parallel port. Actually the message for char-major-180 appears every time I restart cups. = Eugenio Diaz, BSEE/BSCE Linux Engineer [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

[Cooker] hackkernel and pppd problem
The names of the ppp modules have been changed in kernel 2.4.0. To get my system to dial like it used to under kernel 2.2.16 I had to modprobe ppp_generic and modprobe ppp_async. I think the better solution is to put the following line in my modules.conf:- alias char-major-108 ppp_async I think this should be done by the ppp.rpm install routine. -- - Antony Suter ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) "Examiner" openpgp:71ADFC87 - "And how do you store the nuclear equivalent of the universal solvent?"
