Modprobe errors

TJ_16 — Fri, 23 Jan 2004 09:17:45 GMT

I am receiving the following errors:
"modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-237"
I am running RedHat AS 2.1 on a DL 580 G2. I know the device it is complaining about is /dev/crid which is part of the HP Lights-Out Drivers and Agents package hprsm. I am running the latest version of this package and am wanting to know how to halt this error message.

thanks

THe kernel module for that device is either not built and installed or the entry for the device in /etc/modules.conf is specifying the wrong module or perhaps, if you haven'r run "depmod -a"

These are what initially come to mind.

I started getting these messaged on a ML530 running RedHatAS 2.1,after installing the HP driver updates released in Dec 2003.

These messages are left over after a kernel update since a module that was used by the kernel previously is not being used or is not loaded anymore.

If your device is working properly, add the following line to /etc/modules.conf

alias char-major-237 off

Reboot or run depmod -a and your log entries should stop
