The /etc/conf.modules has the following lines and more in:
alias block-major-33 off
alias block-major-34 off
alias block-major-45 pd
alias block-major-46 pcd
alias block-major-47 pf
alias char-major-4 serial
alias char-major-5 serial
alias char-major-6 lp
alias char-major-9 st
alias char-major-10-135 off
The only serial devices I have is a PS2 bus mouse from Logitech.
And still the Kernel response in the beginning is:
ttyS1 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A
modprobe: can't locate module char-major-4
modprobe: can't locate module char-major-4
modprobe: can't locate module char-major-4
modprobe: can't locate module char-major-4
modprobe: can't locate module char-major-4
modprobe: can't locate module char-major-4
And the output of the comments of the Kernel:
Apr 10 17:24:48 hgs4 kernel: Symbol table has incorrect version number.
Apr 10 17:24:48 hgs4 kernel: Cannot find map file.
Apr 10 17:24:52 hgs4 kernel: eth0: The transmitter stopped! CSR5 is
2678016, CSR6 816e2002.
What the thing with the ethernetcard is I don't know, since the
communication with the web works fine.
Thanks for any help
