During boot I keep getting the messages
modprobe can't locate /dev/lp1
modprobe can't locate /dev/lp2
modprobe can't locate /dev/ide-tape
modprobe can't locate /dev/hda4

What do I need to change so that these warning disappear?
if you really want to be sure those warnings never come up you
can recompile the kernel and disable the kernel's auto-module-loader
(I turn it off on all my systems). This will prevent the kernel
from trying to load drivers it "thinks" you need. also you can
check /etc/modules and comment out any modules your not using and
you could comment out the entries in /etc/modules.conf as well that
would help I think(make a backup copy of the file first).
my systems I compile everything I can into the kernel(static) and
only use modules where I have no other choice(Nvidia, VMware), so
I tell the system to manually load them on boot(via /etc/modules)
and disable the kernel module loader since I know what modules I
want/need and don't want it trying to load other stuff.
