Someone else mentioned compiling without kernel support, that's one
way to remove the problem, but like someone else pointed out, it makes
for a large kernel size due to the fact that everything has to be
compiled into the kernel.
the correct way to disable that error is by adding a similarly typed
line like the following lines within your /etc/conf.modules file
alias net-pf-4 off # Don't use IPX module
alias net-pf-5 off # Don't use AppleTalk module
in your case the following
alias net-pf-1 off # Don't use ____ module
alias char-major-4 # Don't use ____ module
Unfortunately, I can't remember what exactly the net-pf-1 and the
char-major-4 represent to the system, I'll try to find out again and
post it to the list. If you don't have a conf.modules file check for a
modules.conf file, or create one or the other since modprobe will look
for either one.
