My best guess is that this has to do with your Real-time clock. I
compiled one of the clock options as a module and this showed up. Try
adding the following to /etc/conf.modules or /etc/modules.conf :
alias char-major-10 misc
alias char-major-10-0 busmouse
alias char-major-10-1 psaux
alias char-major-10-2 msbusmouse
alias char-major-10-3 atixlmouse
alias char-major-10-130 wdt
alias char-major-10-131 wdt
alias char-major-10-139 openprom
(Thanks to Adam Richter for the effort to make a universal
conf.modules).
If that doesn't help, try recompiling your kernel with all clock
related choices as "y" instead of being modules.

Is there any chance you compiled 2.0.34 once with these as modules
and then went back and compiled them right in the kernel?
If not, I'm afraid you'll need to try:
insmod -v dummy
and
insmod -v slip
and send the output of those back to the kernel list. It might be
smart to send the output of:
cat /usr/src/linux/.config | grep -v '^#' | uniq
as an attachment.

This is a network probe of some sort for the Appletalk protocol
family. If you don't use Appletalk, you can tell your box to ignore it
with the following, also in /etc/conf.modules or modules.conf :
alias net-pf-5 off # Forget Appletalk
I also have the following which suit my needs:
alias net-pf-3 off # Forget X.25
alias net-pf-4 off # Forget IPX
alias net-pf-17 af_packet

Do you have a symbolic link in /etc for your mouse? If not, you
might need to create one. On my RedHat, I just run mouseconfig<Enter>
and it creates the necessary link from /dev/psaux to /dev/mouse. If you
don't have mouseconfig, you might try:
cd /dev
ln -sf /dev/ttyS0 /dev/mouse #for com1
or
ln -sf /dev/ttyS1 /dev/mouse #for com2
or
ln -sf /dev/ttyS2 /dev/mouse #for com3
or
ln -sf /dev/ttyS3 /dev/mouse #for com4
or
ln -sf /dev/psaux /dev/mouse #for ps/2 mouse
If these don't help, try man gpm or gpm --help.

The default request-route that came with my system had a nasty
habit of filling up the task table with zombies like yours. As I don't
need it, I simply did:
cd /sbin
mv request-route request-route.notneeded
Unless someone has a better idea, you'll need to reboot (ugh!) to
get rid of the existing zombies.

It's not related to routed. It's from an on-demand routing scheme
that appears to be slowly being phased out.
I copied linux-kernel on this to answer questions for others that
might also be interested in the answers, but maybe we could take this to
private mail for follow-up as it's not directly related to kernel
development?
