Yes, I also have these modprobe warning message when I use my customized kernel instead of 2.4.18-bf2.4. This is due to the lvm trying to scan all possible storage devices. It's reasonable safe to ignore these messages if you don't have these kinds of devices. Another way is to put "alias block-major-114 off" in /etc/modules.conf. The debian's way is to edit /etc/modutils/alias and run update-modules.
I didn't bother tracking down what "lvm" is; I assume it's something like Linux Volume Manager or Logical Volume Manager. -- Kent
