The hibernate script tries to unload the ipw3945 module since it is in the blacklist file. This is probably a good thing, since earlier versions of the hibernate script did not do it, and then often the module would fail. Unfortunately, the script tries to unload it with rmmod, and that is not possible since there is an associated daemon using the module, it must be unloaded with modprobe -r. Apparently, the hibernate script uses rmmod unless modprobe supports the -N option, which mine apparently does not. Modifying the script to use modprobe -r fixes the problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. hibernate 2. 3. Actual Results: Failed to unload module ipw3945 demokrit scriptlets.d # emerge --info Portage 2.1.3.19 (default-linux/amd64/2006.1, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.6.1-r0, 2.6.22-gentoo-r9 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.22-gentoo-r9 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU T5600 @ 1.83GHz Timestamp of tree: Wed, 14 Nov 2007 09:46:01 +0000 app-shells/bash: 3.2_p17 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.0.33-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.4.4-r6 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r6 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.9-r2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r1 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.16 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.24 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.22-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -march=nocona" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -march=nocona" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="distlocks metadata-transfer parallel-fetch sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirror.uni-c.dk/pub/gentoo/ http://pandemonium.tiscali.de/pub/gentoo/ http://ftp.linux.ee/pub/gentoo/distfiles/ http://trumpetti.atm.tut.fi/gentoo/" LANG="en_US.UTF8" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages --filter=H_**/files/digest-*" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage /home/schiotz/development/CamposEbuilds/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X acpi alsa amd64 asf atlas berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 cddb cdparanoia cdr cli cracklib crypt cups dri dvd dvdr dvdread emacs encode firefox foomaticdb fortran gcj gd gdbm gif gimp gpm gs iconv idn imagemagick imap isdnlog java jbig jpeg jpeg2k kdeenablefinal kdexdeltas maildir mbox midi mime mmap mp3 mpeg mudflap ncurses netcdf nls nptl nptlonly ogg opengl openmp pam pcmcia pcre pdf perl png ppds pppd python qt3 quicktime readline reflection scanner session smp spell spl ssl tcpd tetex tiff tk truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode usb vcd wxwindows xine xorg xv xvid xvmc zlib" ALSA_CARDS="hda-intel" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse synaptics" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="radeon vesa fbdev" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
