While that is interesting, I am not seeing that problem on my Gentoo
box (the macbook), which is completely up-to-date. 2.6.28 works, and
2.6.29 doesn't. Same init scripts, different kernels.

And sure, I could put a comment on the rmmod, in the init script, but
IMO that would be a hack around a _bug_. Which is fine for me. But,
is it worth leaving the issue in the kernel?
