I'm getting this message when I boot my system. I think device char-major-6 is a printer attached via the parallel port (Is this
correct?), which I don't have, mine is attached via USB and works fine. I presume modprobe is looking for a module and not finding
it, I've read up on modprobe, et. al. but am none the wiser.
Just as an aside I've recently rebuilt the kernel and decided to have everything built in rather than as modules. The configuration
is specific to my system (single user, dial-up networking only) and the kernel is small enough that having bits of the kernel as
loadable modules doesn't give me much.
Is this a problem or can I safely ignore it? Being somewhat anally retentive it irks me that it's appearing, can I get rid of the
message and how?
Regards,
Keith
