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.
When I try to use a printer (using cups), I get similar messages.
The printer is defined as a Unix lpd printer, and works from other machines with appropriate permissions.
However, the zinger is I can't find the package to which it belongs. If I run:
find mnt/CHARLESC/jukebox/severn.disc*/ -iname *.rpm -print -exec rpm -qlp {} ; | grep char-major-188
I get nothing.

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 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?

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). [...]

Yes, no problem when cups is running.
