Nice, I think we are very close to solving the problem now.

Why do you believe that? I believe you are wrong. I guess
the major number of your device inode is 253. The kernel
sees that and tries to load the char-major-253 driver.
modprobe is started, and looks through the config file
for an alias for char-major-253, but finds nothing. Finally
modprobe looks for char-major-253.o, which it can obviously
not find.
Try writing this alias line instead:
alias char-major-253 <driver name>
