Nb: in the cpuspeed case, the module unloads aren't on shutdown either. They're done when we try loading a cpufreq driver that we think will work on the system, but it doesn't find supported hardware. Rather than leaving a useless module loaded, we do some clean-up in this case. -- Jarod Wilson jwilson@xxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ Fedora-kernel-list mailing list Fedora-kernel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-kernel-list
