Have you tried just changing to single user mode, then back to your
regular mode?  Many times changing runlevels will fix some oddities (but
not always).  You might have to go one step further and remove some
modules so that when you switch back to runlevel 3 (text login) or 5
(graphical login), it will load the required modules back.  If something
is funky with the modules in kernel-space though, you might get the busy
error message.  The only advice I can offer is remove the modules in
opposite order that they are dependent.  For example, in the following:

sg                     30180   0  (autoclean) (unused)
st                     27316   0  (autoclean) (unused)
sr_mod                 15160   0  (autoclean) (unused)
sd_mod                 11644   0  (autoclean) (unused)
scsi_mod               92488   4  (autoclean) [sg st sr_mod sd_mod]

I won't be able to remove scsi_mod first.  I would have to rmmod sg,
then st, then sr_mod, then sd_mod.  Only then would I be able to remove
scsi_mod.
