Looking up a /dev file that does not presently exist or have a corresponding module results in the above warnings. At boot time, on a redhat distro pam_console_apply tries to lookup the devices specified in /etc/security/console.perms, which causes a zillion warnings for me. The question is - are those warnings to correct way to handle a devfs lookup of a nonexisting device. I don't remember getting warnings under 2.4. Maybe I did, and just didn't notice (but I doubt it). They're certainly annoying and I don't like them. P.S.
