modprobe errors in syslog

I have 2.4.1 patched with .9beta3. Everything I have tried so far is working,
but I get lots of modprobe errors in my log after I run vgscan. please advise,
is this from md.o or devfs ? I am not using md.o for raid.

thanks
Richard

Hi Richard,

this is well known because vgscan(8) checks for a couple of possibly existing devices.
If they don't exist (i.e. the drivers are not loaded or build into the kernel) that run triggers (lots of) messages. If you face more of them your actual kernel configuration might include less drivers than your previous one.

There's 2 ways to address this:

a. change your modules.conf and set the unused drivers to "off". b. ignore the messages ;-)
