Hello, i am with a SUSE 8.0 with a recompiled kernel, the system is fast and stable but at the boot after the kernel loaded i can see some messages like this:

"modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-114"

This does not happen with the original kernel, my kernel recompilation and installation has been made with the corrected procedure. I think there are some modules that the system want to load because the SUSE original kernel needed them, but now i would like to set the system to not try to load those modules, where do i have to set this???

Ah sorry, i was forgetting this:
And if "char-major-114" is important??? Where can i go to see what means this module alias for decide if activate it or suppress???

I did a google on this because I have seen similar messages in my systems.

At http://www.lanana.org/docs/device-list/CHANGELOG I found -

Added missing ataraid devices (block major 114).

So it would appear that these messages relate to device drivers (modules) not in your available kernel modules that may or may not be needed by your system.

It would seem it is for a RAID device. If you don't use RAID you can safely disable it.

I had the same error on my old redhat system with a homegrown kernel.

And how can i disable the raid device???
Thanks

Please help me, where can i go to disable all the moules requsted that i have not included in my kernel because my hardware does not need that???

see if there is a reference to it in /etc/modules.conf then comment the line out. It will look something like:

alias /dev/whatever char-major-114

There is not this line (or a line with the alias 114) in /etc/modules.conf i don't know other place
