Package: linux-base Version: 3.5 Severity: normal Tags: newcomer Dear Maintainer,
Here is the summary: * What led up to the situation? I don't know when this problem first appeared as I was upgrading regularly and did not need to remove the module. Recently I was forced to do a fresh install and I needed to find out the card and tuner for the saa7134 module because the i2c system would not detect the correct card. To try different settings I needed to unload and reload the saa7134 module multiple times. But failed at the first attempt due to saa7134_alsa module being reported as in use. Although lsmod says: Module Size Used by saa7134_alsa 17686 0 * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? rmmod -f saa7134_alsa modprobe -vfr saa7134_alsa * What was the outcome of this action? modprobe reported this error: modprobe: FATAL: Module saa7134_alsa is in use. modprobe: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod-module.c:777 kmod_module_remove_module() could not remove 'saa7134_alsa': Device or resource busy * What outcome did you expect instead? removal of the module even without the "force" option, as was the case in prior kernels. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.2 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages linux-base depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.56 ii libuuid-perl 0.05-1+b1 ii udev 215-17+deb8u2 ii util-linux 2.25.2-6 linux-base recommends no packages. linux-base suggests no packages. -- debconf information: linux-base/disk-id-convert-plan-no-relabel: true linux-base/disk-id-manual-boot-loader: linux-base/disk-id-update-failed: linux-base/do-bootloader-default-changed: linux-base/disk-id-convert-auto: true
