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.
