Subject: Modules fun with 2.5.47-mm2 (or -bk)

Hi,

The recient modules changes are 'fun'.

First the Docs have not been updated. A quick search of lkml found Rusty's
new utilities... After that booting worked a little better...

Here is what complains here:

Module ip_tables cannot be unloaded due to unsafe usage in net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.c:1385
Module tulip cannot be unloaded due to unsafe usage in drivers/net/tulip/tulip_core.c:487
Module pl2303 cannot be unloaded due to unsafe usage in drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c:1408
Module snd cannot be unloaded due to unsafe usage in fs/proc/inode.c:204
Module agpgart cannot be unloaded due to unsafe usage in drivers/char/agp/agp.c:67
Module pppox cannot be unloaded due to unsafe usage in drivers/net/pppox.c:52

And these will not load at all.

via_rhine: Unknown symbol mii_ethtool_gset
matroxfb_base: Unknown symbol matroxfb_global_mxinfo
scsi_mod: Unknown symbol module_dummy_usage
usb_storage: Unknown symbol scsi_register

I also had to modprobe a few modules manually, for instance, psmouse...

The via_rhine load failure is a killer here - its connected to my DSL modem...

Hope this helps,
Ed Tomlinson
