Hello,

My red hat 7.1 system runs smoothly, but I do get a couple errors at boot-up and in /var/log/messages which annoy me. I could use some advice.

At boot, I get a modprobe error telling me the system "can't find char-major-10-135." I know this has to do with the fact that I do not have RTC (Real Time clock) support enabled in my kernel. Do I need to go back and recompile, or can I simply delete /dev/rtc (one faq I saw suggested this deletion, but I want more info before I do that).

In /var/log/messages, I get 2 modprobe errors saying: "can't find char-major-97" and "can't find char-major-35." From what I can tell, char-major-97 has to do with CD writing, but my cdwriter works fine. Since my system runs well, and has for quite awhile, I am tempted to 'alias off' these char-major messages in /etc/modules.conf...is this OK? I just don't want to cause bigger problems.

Thanks in advance to all who reply.

Chris

It may be about /dev file system....

I've got rh7.2, and get the same message. I'd love to know the answer also. If you find out could you post it? Does anybody know?

cheers,
