Bug#268166: kernel-image-2.6-k7: Device 'vesafb0' does not have a release() function
Package: kernel-image-2.6-k7
Version: 2.6.8-1
Severity: normal
# modprobe vesafb
Device 'vesafb0' does not have a release() function, it is broken and must be fixed.
# modprobe -r vesafb
Badness in device_release at drivers/base/core.c:85
[<c01a2be8>] kobject_cleanup+0x98/0xa0
[<d9d6429f>] vesafb_exit+0xf/0x1f [vesafb]
[<c01309cc>] sys_delete_module+0x12c/0x180
[<c0147888>] do_munmap+0x158/0x1b0
[<c0106107>] syscall_call+0x7/0xb
inserting radeonfb after unloading broken vesafb causes fallback to textmode,
all text dissappears, only cursor is visible
BTW: vesafb is loaded at boot by initrd, because of
/lib/modules/2.6.8-1-k7/initrd/vesafb.ko
