Why is it the case that the modules:

I assume unloading them with rmmod frees memory (?).

Firewire and CDROM. They are probably loaded by hotplug. Removing them will not free up any considerable memory (8k a piece I think -- and that's kernel space). Anyway it's your worries, you can just leave them be. I assume you use your CDROM? Just because they currently don't have a reference count doesn't mean they aren't used. -Eric -- "Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school." - Albert Einstein
