I believe char-major-4 is the serial port. Is there a line in you
conf.modules that says 'alias char-major-4 serial'?
Did you compile serial drivers into the kernel or as a module?

You might want to try '-e' in depmod, to see what symbols are unresolved.

Is this the first time you have compiled and installed 2.2.5? If not,
perhaps you have left some modules in /lib/modules/2.2.5/ that are
confusing the system? (Then you might try moving that dir and re-do
your 'make modules_install')

If your problem still isn't solved, please attach your conf.modules.
