modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-6 ?

[Shaul Karl <shaulk@israsrv.net.il>]

Package: kernel-image-2.2.15-idepci
Version: 1:2.2.15-2
Severity: normal


[23:32:47 /tmp]$ wc /var/log/syslog -l
   1316 /var/log/syslog
[23:32:50 /tmp]$ grep "modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-6" 
/var/log/syslog | wc -l
    214
[23:32:53 /tmp]$ 

Why 15% of my syslog is filled with the error message about that module? What 
does it do?
I am using a kernel-image as is and have not compiled anything. Why is it all 
of a sudden gives me messages about it? Is it a bug in some package? How can I 
fix it?
