Can't locate module char-major-10 on boot

Hello All,



I have a message at boot that I do not understand. The system complains
that it can't locate module char-major-10. Whats this?

I am using Slackware 2.0.29 kernel - I have changed the orriginal kernel
and used "make config" to get the kernel I think I want,  followed by
"make zImage" and a "make modules" followed by "make modules_install". I
have SCSI and IDE.

Everything seems to behave as expected - but something (perhaps) is
amis.

I am not sure what a char-major-10 is and thus I do not understand what
to look for.

Any help and advice will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Col.

Below is a snippet of the boot up.
