It's actually just the downstream duplicate of the kernel.org bug entry. > Either way, the unload problem with the module didn't happen in > 2.6.28. Interdependencies between ALSA modules have changed. The Gentoo init scripts attempted to unload them in an order which deadlocked modprobe due to dependencies. The fix for Gentoo is to just not unload the modules on system shutdown. My Gentoo/amd64 Mac mini was affected by this too; fixed by userland update.
