I seem to be missing a module from Fedora Beta 2. On boot, I get:
Sep 29 10:26:37 issola modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-188 Sep 29 10:26:41 issola last message repeated 15 times Sep 29 10:26:42 issola cups: cupsd startup succeeded
in my /var/log/messages.
I wonder why I didn't find that when I went looking for previous bugs.
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?
I'll add this to Nils' bug entry above.
Nils, did you get your printer to work even with this problem?
