does anyone know of a way to find such a device? like I said I checked
crontab.

That makes sense, does a major block number correspond to a particular
type of device, or will this vary with system type?  I have multiple
hosts reporting this error, all with the same major block numbers, but
they are all the same hardware.  Does this also mean that it is safe to
put the alias device block entry into /etc/modules.conf?
