(Please CC me on emails, I'm not on LKML). Somewhere between 2.6.19 and 2.6.20, unloading of the netconsole module got broken. It's still broken as of 2.6.21-rc6. If you try to unload the module, the rmmod/modprobe-r just sits there forever. I can reproduce it on tg3, forcedeth and e1000 hardware (all in various Opteron machines) Looking at the differences in netconsole itself between .19 and .20, they are extremely small, so I'd guess that the problem probably lies in netpoll itself. Originally, I was trying to unload the module to reconfigure the log destination - maybe a sysfs interface for (re-)configuration would be a good addition as well? -- Robin Hugh Johnson Gentoo Linux Developer & Council Member E-Mail : [email protected] GnuPG FP : 11AC BA4F 4778 E3F6 E4ED F38E B27B 944E 3488 4E85
