Subject: test13-pre5 + char-major-145??

Please help me explain why I'm getting the following
modprobe reply on boot up after kernel test13-pre5
loads:

modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-145

>From /usr/src/linux/Documentation/devices.txt

10 char Non-serial mice, misc features
145 = /dev/hfmodem Soundcard shortwave modem control {2.6}

My modules.conf:
-----------------------------------
alias eth0 rtl8139
alias eth1 rtl8139
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
alias sound-slot-0 emu10k1
alias usb-controller usb-uhci
-----------------------------------

What may be calling this? Any advice where to go ferreting?

Thanks,

Frank

That is major 10, minor 145. Search /145 *char/ to find char-major-145.
