well on closer look I found that modprobe (when I run it manually to
remove or add modules). Doesn't work.
Such as to remove the sound module, I did the following
modprobe -r sound
No error's I assume that it's removed, then I do:
modprobe -l|grep sound
and it is still loaded.
Then I checked the /etc/conf.modules to see what is aliased with it and
it is ad1816
Then I do a modprobe -r ad1816
No error's I think all is good.
modprobe -l|grep ad1816 still loaded.
then I try a rmmod I get an error stating that the device is busy.
I am out of ideas with this one. I am currently recompling the kernel
and loading my sound card as part of the kernel and not a module.
