I had the same problem with 2.2 a couple weeks ago.

Here it is for the whole list.

You compiled serial support directly into the kernel instead of as a
module (this is a 2.2 default).  You can turn off the annoying "cannot
find" message by finding a line in /etc/conf.modules which looks like:

alias   char-major-4    serial

and changing "serial" to "off" like so:

alias   char-major-4    off

This will keep modprobe from looking for serial as a module.  I had the
same problem, and found it quite alarming <g>.
