[ale] Debian 2.2 + Kernel 2.4

[David Corbin]

I've a debian 2.2 system.  I need USB support, so I figured I'd upgrade 
to Kernel 2.4.17 (the latest).

I followed the instructions available from debian, which basically says 
to upgrade a bunch of packages.  Built the kernel, and booted.

Everything is functioning OK, from my perspective, but in the syslog 
file I find

Dec 30 14:25:12 mercury modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-4
Dec 30 14:25:43 mercury last message repeated 22 times
Dec 30 14:26:43 mercury last message repeated 37 times

minutes
Dec 30 14:26:53 mercury init: Id "6" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 
minutes

Now, I don't KNOW that this started when I upgraded my kernel, but it is 
likely.  Anybody want to make any suggestions?

Thanks.
David
