Hm. There is no reason to unload any driver or module just to shut down.
Are you sure that's the reason for the oops?
Well, no, but when I Ctrl+Alt+F1 to a console and shutdown from there
there are no oops with the usual messages about
"vblank_disable_fn+0x79/0xd0 [drm]" and "EIP: [<e0cc14fe>]
radeon_get_vblank_counter+0x7e/0xd0 [radeon]".
Wait, when exactly do you see the 'usual' oops messages?
When I try to shutdown the machine they come up on the console - currently
running 2.6.29-gentoo-r5. Typically, the oops occurs after the wireless
driver and alsasound modules are unloaded and occasionally after syslog-ng is
stopped...
Okay, I know about the alsa modules stuff, but not the wireless. The alsa
modules should *not* be unloaded on shutdown because there is no reason to
do it and it causes problems if you try. (And I'm guessing that wireless is
the same.)
Look at /etc/conf.d/alsasound. You should have two lines there as follows:
# Deprecated options:
# Upstream feels, and we wholehartedly agree, that this was a silly idea
UNLOAD_ON_STOP="no"
KILLPROC_ON_STOP="no"
When I'm more awake I'll take a look at wireless.
