help!

I upgraded some packages to the latest from unstable (replacing about 2
week old stuff) yesterday, including xbase & the fonts.

Now I have X & a modprobe out of countrol.

X is using 33-50% of cpu time when doing nothing, and I have recurring
message of 

Jul  8 14:45:09 eyry modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-6
Jul  8 14:46:30 eyry modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-6

in the xconsole.  ALso, I have processes that won't go away in the form
of 

 1336  ?  S      0:00 modprobe -k -s char-major-6 
 1337  ?  S      0:00 sh -c echo /lib/modules/boot/lp.o /lib/modules/boot/lp.o  
running around.  I can't kill them, either--they keep coming back.

grepping /etc/* and /etc/*/* for char-major-6 yields nothing, althoug
thare is a char-major-f in conf.modules.

The system is clsoe to unusable; how do i recover?
