I've noticed on several linux boxes this error in /var/log/messages: modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-81 It doesn't seem to cause any problems but it is an annoyance. I couldn't find much google-searching on this, other than char-major-81 is for video capture devices. My /etc/modules.conf looks like this: alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc alias eth0 3c59x alias sound-slot-0 i810_audio post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || : pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 || : alias usb-controller usb-uhci And the device looks like this: # ls -la /dev | less lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Oct 26 2001 radio -> radio0 crw------- 1 atanner root 81, 64 Aug 30 2001 radio0 crw------- 1 atanner root 81, 65 Aug 30 2001 radio1 crw------- 1 atanner root 81, 66 Aug 30 2001 radio2 crw------- 1 atanner root 81, 67 Aug 30 2001 radio3 I don't have any video-capture devices on my box.
