sorry to take so long.... I removed everything that was obviously using usbcore but still get:
athlon:/home/stoffel# lsmod |grep usb usbcore 118564 1 athlon:/home/stoffel# rmmod usbcore ERROR: Module usbcore is in use athlon:/home/stoffel# So I don't know what is preventing me from removing usbcore. I do have the bluetooth module running, which uses a USB device, but I can't get that unloaded either: athlon:/home/stoffel# lsmod |grep l2cap l2cap 25668 2 bluetooth 49156 3 l2cap athlon:/home/stoffel# rmmod l2cap ERROR: Module l2cap is in use athlon:/home/stoffel# rmmod bluetooth ERROR: Module bluetooth is in use by l2cap here is the complete lsmod listing: Module Size Used by l2cap 25668 2 nfsd 230816 8 exportfs 6336 1 nfsd lockd 70216 2 nfsd sunrpc 154404 2 nfsd,lockd lp 10856 0 binfmt_misc 11592 1 button 6544 0 ac 4740 0 battery 9284 0 ipv6 261568 8 af_packet 22472 2 snd_intel8x0 35020 0 snd_ac97_codec 72208 1 snd_intel8x0 gameport 4544 1 snd_intel8x0 snd_mpu401_uart 7872 1 snd_intel8x0 snd_rawmidi 25060 1 snd_mpu401_uart snd_seq_device 8072 1 snd_rawmidi shpchp 100580 0 pciehp 97188 0 pci_hotplug 34160 2 shpchp,pciehp sis_agp 8132 1 agpgart 34472 1 sis_agp parport_pc 37188 1 parport 41416 2 lp,parport_pc sd_mod 17808 0 scsi_mod 125132 1 sd_mod bluetooth 49156 3 l2cap usbcore 118564 1 sis900 20164 0 crc32 4224 1 sis900 capability 4488 0 commoncap 7040 1 capability w83627hf 30440 0 eeprom 8480 0 i2c_sensor 3776 2 w83627hf,eeprom i2c_isa 1984 0 i2c_sis96x 5252 0 i2c_core 24016 5 w83627hf,eeprom,i2c_sensor,i2c_isa,i2c_sis96x snd_pcm_oss 53480 0 snd_pcm 97608 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm_oss snd_timer 25604 1 snd_pcm snd_page_alloc 9928 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm snd_mixer_oss 19968 1 snd_pcm_oss snd 57124 9 snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device,snd_pcm_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_mixer_oss tsdev 7616 0 mousedev 11480 1 soundcore 10272 1 snd evdev 9472 0 ide_cd 42464 0 cdrom 40540 1 ide_cd psmouse 21832 0 fan 3908 0 thermal 13128 0 processor 17384 1 thermal isofs 37688 0 vfat 14528 0 fat 46560 1 vfat ext2 70568 0 ext3 125672 3 jbd 63256 1 ext3 mbcache 9092 2 ext2,ext3 ide_generic 1344 0 sis5513 16840 1 ide_disk 20480 6 ide_core 141936 4 ide_cd,ide_generic,sis5513,ide_disk unix 28532 316 fbcon 40064 0 font 8256 1 fbcon vesafb 6688 0 cfbcopyarea 3904 1 vesafb cfbimgblt 2944 1 vesafb cfbfillrect 3520 1 vesafb On Wednesday 26 January 2005 11:11 pm, Alan Stern wrote: > On Wed, 26 Jan 2005, C.
