A driver module loaded automatically sounds like udev is installed. It is possible, I believe, to blacklist a module from ever getting automatically loaded by udev.

Even if the problem can be worked around as mentioned above, this still sounds like a kernel bug to me. I just wanted to draw attention to the possible workarounds. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist og Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ - Enden er n_r: http://www.shibumi.org/eoti.htm
