I just installed RHAS3-U4 and almost on every command (line network restart, rpm -qa etc ..) I get a message:
modprobe: Can't locate module block-major-135
Any suggestions?
Thanx.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: Can't locate module
I believe something is missing in your system (obviously:)
check the /etc/modprobe.conf file if there is any entry with 'block-major-135' then comment that line and see whether you are getting that message.
what i gave you is just a hint on how to suppress the message, but you may have to listen to some other expert to find the root cause and correct it.
Hope this helps,
Gopi

Re: Can't locate module
First at all, RHEL3 UPD5 is available.
Do you have something unusual in your modules.conf? dmesg?

Re: Can't locate module
alias block-major-135 off
Maybe you need to reboot.

Re: Can't locate module
If you don't actually have that many disks, you can definitely add the line
alias block-major-135 off
to /etc/modules.conf.
After making the change, run the "depmod" command. You don't need to boot after that, but booting instead of "depmod" works too.
The "depmod" command is normally run at boot time, but you can run it manually any time you wish.
Most "Can't locate module" messages are a result of a program probing the /dev directory trying to find some hardware. Probing a device file that has no driver attached will trigger an attempt to autoload the necessary module(s). If the messages are annoying, you can silence them by adding a "alias

Re: Can't locate module
I don't have that amount of disks, only 2 mirrored 18GB disks.

SolutionAll that's happening is when you do given commands, it pokes the SCSI subsystem, which goes and pokes the SCSI device nodes in /dev.
If you're only getting block-major-135, then you'll have:
/dev/sda (sda1-sda15)
/dev/sdb (sdb1-sdb15)
...
/dev/sdif (sdif1-sdif15)
But you'll be missing the '/dev/sdig' through to '/dev/sdiv' grouping (which is block major 135).
Now, you can either create 256 device nodes, or as you don't have that many SCSI devices anyway, just turn the block-major-135 off by modifying '/etc/modprobe.conf'.
Choice is yours.
