modprobe: Can't locate module block-major-## and NTP issues

[Michael ODonnell]

It's possible that you have something periodically
searching for some IDE device (like a disk or cdrom)
and referring to it as /dev/hd-something-or-other
and your system doesn't have IDE devices so you
have none of the corresponding drivers available
(either statically linked or as modules) so modprobe
is unhappy...
