Well, modprobe is looking for modules that it can't find. :-)

Are you having problems because of this? Some applications not running?

You might try running update-modules, but read the man page first.

It's possible that you don't have those modules at all, in which case
you will need to re-build your kernel.

(Or CAN a person compile modules seperately?)

I think you have a backupprogramm in the background which want to
write on a 27 char QIC-117 tape .

This is block 9 Metadisk (RAID) devices

Have you such devices or is this a misconfigurated daemon?
