Takes about 20 seconds to find an answer...

 

Even with Paul's hint, it took me considerably longer than 20 seconds to 
find the answer, so I'm posting what I found here for archival purposes, 
and in case the OP didn't find the answer in his looking.

According to

according to the kernel documentation, Block Device 114 is:

114 block       IDE BIOS powered software RAID interfaces such as the

Yes, I also have these modprobe warning message when I use my customized
kernel instead of 2.4.18-bf2.4. This is due to the lvm trying to scan all
possible storage devices. It's reasonable safe to ignore these messages
if you don't have these kinds of devices.
Another way is to put "alias block-major-114 off" in /etc/modules.conf.
The debian's way is to edit /etc/modutils/alias and run update-modules.


I didn't bother tracking down what "lvm" is; I assume it's something like Linux Volume Manager or Logical Volume Manager.
