; : A common problem char-major-10 is misc devices such as psaux, watchdog, apm and nvram - "cat /proc/misc" should list the ones you're using. You will probably need to do some configuration in /etc/modules or /etc/modules.conf(5). Normally these messages don't cause problems later in life, but it's nice to have them cleaned up. %%% %%% The allocation of each number to its respective device can be looked up in the file /usr/src/linux-your_kernel_version/Documentation/devices.txt, provided the kernel sources have been installed. In this file you can find out what device and module are affected. It does not have to be an error, but perhaps only information about the module not having to be loaded any more because it is already loaded or is not required.
