You can look in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/devices.txt to find major and
minor device numbers. You can also "ls -l /dev" to get a list of devices with
major and minor numbers. Yet another place you can find device numbers
is in usr/src/linux/include/linux/major.h.
My *guess* is that the kernel is looking for modules to handle serial I/O
(CONFIG_SERIAL) and sound (CONFIG_SOUND).

Subject:        [ale] char-major-5
My syslog sez:
modprobe: can't locate module char-major-5
What's it looking for? Specifically, what wording will 'make menuconfig'
use when listing this option? I get a similar message about char-major-14.
A 'grep char-major /usr/src/linux/Documentation/Configure.help' and a 'grep
char-major /usr/src/linux/.config' both turn up nothing. (Suggestions on
how else to look for info like this would be appreciated).
