Not a major issue but just in case someone has a quick answer, why is
(something) looking for a serial.o module when I've got it compiled
into my kernel, which is giving me log file errors "Can't locate
module char-major-5"?  The usual solution to that problem is sticking
"alias char-major-5 serial" in /etc/modutils/aliases and running
update-aliases (or on other/older distributions, sticking it in
/etc/conf.modules), but I don't *have* a serial.o module because I
don't *need* one when it's compiled in, so I can't understand why I'm
getting this error all the time.

TIA
