ide-cs module "cannot be unloaded due to unsafe usage"
Hello everyone,
My environment: Thinkpad X31 running a mix of testing/unstable with
kernel 2.6.3 from kernel.org. I'm using the CF Card slot on the machine
to access pictures from a digital camera. Everything (mount, unmount,
card insert/remove detection, file access, APM suspend/resume) works.
The only annoyance is this message that comes up the first time I insert
the card:

As far as I can tell from the relevant part of module.h, the ide-cs
module code is using a deprecated reference count macro when built as a
module. Is that the cause of these messages or could there be something
I haven't configured correctly on my system?
The relevant entries from my kernel config:
CONFIG_MODULES=y
CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=y
CONFIG_MODULE_FORCE_UNLOAD=y
CONFIG_OBSOLETE_MODPARM=y
CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y
CONFIG_KMOD=y

Dimitris.
