Re: can't locate module char-major-5
I am not sure what it does, but if you look at the /etc/modules.conf or the /etc/modutils/aliases you should find it there. comment it and it should go away.

These were the steps I followed to solve the problem. Thanks to Colin for his help!

Re: char-major-5
I checked to make sure, and I did have standard/generic (dump) serial support compiled into the kernel, but it was compiled in and not a module. I tried compiling it as a module, which generated the serial.o file you mentioned below in /lib/modules/2.2.13/misc, and the message/problem went away. So, is this a bug? If support is compiled in the kernel, why would it try to load a module? One other char-major problem. When I start my ppp session with pon, I get a Can't locate module char-major-108.
