Take a look at /etc/conf.modules. I had to alias char-major-4 off in
/etc/conf.modules. This got rid of the messages for me.

Equally as likely it is compiled directly into the kernel instead of
as a module but conf.modules still has it "activated".

If this is the case, change (in /etc/conf.modules, or in some cases
/etc/modules.conf)

from: alias char-major-4 serial
to: alias char-major-4 off
