Very Nice

Mod probe: can't locate module char-major ....

2002-05-29 Thread tvn1981
Hi, I am new to Debian Linux - I just had it installed several days ago
- when boot up I notice there are several  messages Mod probe: can't
locate module char-major  , 
 
I recompile the kernel manually and this is what I set in the Native
Lanague Support category

Default NLS Option   iso8859-1
Codepage 437 (United states, Canada)   -  Module
NLS ISO 8859-1 (Latin; Wester European Langugages) - Module 
(trully speaking, I don't know what these are , a friend told me to turn
them on so I did,  if they are unnecessary or if there's something else
should be on, let me know also)


although it doesn't affect any booting process but I would like to know
what they are and how to fix them.  Thanks .

What is the number?

char-major-foo modules don't necessarily refer to language support.

 what they are and how to fix them.  Thanks .

It can be fixed by compiling the kernel with the appropriate module. If
the message mentions char-major-10-135, it's looking for rtc.o (real
time clock). When a kernel compiled with rtc as a module, then booted,
the error would go away.

Excuse me hijacking this thread. But I have this 10-135-problem, but 
instead of making rtc.o available to the kernel, I'd prefer to remove the 
call for it. Do you know which part of the init process is responsible for 
trying to access the rtc?

Thanks

Since I don't need the rtc, I just turn it off.  Edit the file 
/etc/modutils/arch/i386 and replace the line:

alias char-major-10-135 rtc

with

alias char-major-10-135 off

and then run update-modules.

Presumably, there's a list somewhere that says what char-major-XXX relates
to?  Could you tell me where I find it?

Thanks,

Try Documentation/devices.txt in the kernel source.
