There is no need for alarm. The auto module insert daemon `kerneld', is
looking for a module you do not have. I do not remember what causes this
but I do remember how to fix it.

Add to your module configuartion file (/etc/conf.modules or in some cases
/etc/modules.conf) the following line:

	alias char-major-10 off

On next reboot you will not recieve that error message.
