From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0) Description of problem: I get warnings about char-major-10-135 (it's /dev/rtc) and some other device (logs below). I know it's probably because my home-brewed kernel doesn't support these things, but it didn't happen with RH 7.1, so I wonder what's changed.

Additional info: I know it can be solved by adding appropriate char-major-226 off line to /etc/modules.conf, but this is not the Right Way(tm). I don't know how to reproduce the other warnings, they seem random.
226 is DRM (direct rendering stuff) for X. It can safely be ignored. What are you doing when you get the messages about block-major-22 and char-major-180?
+226 is DRM (direct rendering stuff) for X. It can safely be ignored. Maybe I should add some aliases then? +What are you doing when you get the messages about block-major-22 and +char-major-180?

block-major-22 is the second IDE controller (for example, a CDROM or something similar.) char-major-180 is *something* under X, possibly gnome-pilot or something similar.
