It's a pity that cups tries to randomly probe stuff like USB at all when I only have one locally attached parallel printer. I finally filed a separate report for it:
I agree. I have no USB devices attached to my system, and no printers of any flavor. I had defined no printers at the time, and only looked into the problem when I had problems trying to use a network printer.
However, it didn't take cups two whole minutes to decide it couldn't find the missing module.
I took another look at my boot messages, and I see a lot of messages like:
Sep 29 10:26:15 issola modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module block-major-34
with different numbers attached. What is "block-major-*"? Something the USB system generates as needed?
It means "something is accessing a block device with major number 34 and I cannot associate any drivers with it" -- you can lookup known device major/minor numbers in /usr/src/linux-2.4/Documentation/devices.txt. In your case:
[...] 34 char Z8530 HDLC driver 0 = /dev/scc0 First Z8530, first port [...] block Fourth IDE hard disk/CD-ROM interface 0 = /dev/hdg Master: whole disk (or CD-ROM) 64 = /dev/hdh Slave: whole disk (or CD-ROM)
Partitions are handled the same way as for the first interface (see major number 3). [...]
Nils, did you get your printer to work even with this problem?
Yes, no problem when cups is running.
