It's not modprobing an already loaded module, but loading the module
w/o doing a complete shutdown or unload the modules before reboot. The
problem is sort of documented already on google, but it seems that I
am the only person whose box is crashing.

I can add other printk to test, are there any places that I should pay
more attention? I assume a printk has the same syntax as printf, does
the output go to /var/log/messages?

I probably won't be able to test until next week.
