If I boot with 2.6.5-rc[2,3] and use rmmod snd_via82xx or rmmod
ohci_hcd (it doesn't happen with all modules), rmmod deadlocks.
2.6.4 works fine.

The ohci_hcd problem should be temporarily fixed by a recent patch to this
list, from Greg KH (subject: [PATCH] USB: Eliminate wait following interface
unregistration). This worked for me.
As for the snd_ modules, this is a different problem, which I am still
experiencing. I have had it with both snd_emu10k1 and snd_intel8x0 - but it
does not happen every time. I have experienced it on 2.6.5-rc2 and -rc3 (plus
their -mm patches). rmmod hangs and doesnt respond to kill -9.
Is there any output I can capture to diagnose this?

I forgot to report that I don't need OHCI. It's hotplug which
loads it for some reason under 2.6, but not under 2.4.

I used ALSA from CVS.

Here nothing gets printed. Maybe strace can help. But I'll
wait.
It also happened removing i2c_isa when I went through removing
all modules. Nothing wrong with joydev, adi, gameport, it87...

OK, I gave 2.6.3-rc3-mm1 a try and could reproduce it.
I still compile with CONFIG_DEVFS_FS=y and
CONFIG_DEVFS_MOUNT=y, but to use udev boot with devfs=nomount.
I then booted with devfs=mount acpi=off noapic. Guess what ? I
was able to unmount all offending modules.
What next ? Boot with devfs=mount to see if ACPI was to blame.
No, it wasn't.
My /etc/rc.d/rc.S is very simple:
[ -e /dev/.devfsd -a -x /sbin/devfsd ] && devfsd /dev
(only run devfsd if devfs is mounted)
mount -vn -t proc proc /proc # Needed for LABEL= in /etc/fstab
mount -vn -t sysfs sysfs /sys
[ ! -e /dev/.devfsd -a -d /sys/block ] && /etc/rc.d/start_udev
(only run start_udev if devfs isn't mounted and sysfs is
mounted)
Since 2.6.4 works fine for me using devfs=nomount, something is
broken. I'm using the latest udev and hotplug.
I'm attaching a strace of a rmmod that failed.

Yes, the bug is still there. It is being activly worked on as I type
this...
And no, it's not udev related, but udev does help show the bug...

i've heard that the recent sysfs change since 2.6.5-rc triggered rmmod
hangup of ALSA modules.
