iWhat was minor? If 135, it is RTC.
alias char-major-10-135 rtc
You foregot to enable it when compiling kernel. If you configure kernel
right, it will not complain and this is harmless if you do not use them.
Check "man update-modules"

May be you do not have serial device.

No it does not look like so. Stable potato always and still have 2.0
kernel. It is ultrastable so version number does not change as
frequently.
$ apt-cache policy kernel-image-2.0.38
kernel-image-2.0.38:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 2.0.38-3
Version Table:
2.0.38-3 0
500 http://http.us.debian.org stable/main Packages

You can download newer precompiled one from Debian, too. Start from
there before compiling kernel. Also read basic documents on Debian.
