    This problem can be reproduced on a 2.6.6 kernel if you compile e.g.
    video1394 as a module.

    The source line in drivers/ieee1394/video1394.c that is a problem:

    MODULE_ALIAS_CHARDEV(IEEE1394_MAJOR, IEEE1394_MINOR_BLOCK_VIDEO1394 * 16);

    The bad result is that in /lib/modules/2.6.6/modules.alias the following
    line appears:

    alias char-major-171-1 * 16 video1394

    I use gcc 3.3.2, if that matters. Similar problem exists with other
    ieee1394 modules.
