Can you substantiate "distro is very disk-demanding

Re: Boot time module loading problem

With 2.6.24-rc5, a b43 user reports a problem at bootup. The b43

following type of message:

ssb: Sonics Silicon Backplane found on PCI device :0c:00.0 b43:
disagrees about version of symbol ssb_device_is_enabled b43: Unknown
symbol ssb_device_is_enabled b43: disagrees about version of symbol

< and more similar lines>

If the user issues the commands

rmmod ssb; modprobe b43

then the modules are loaded correctly and the wireless device works.

What could be causing such a problem?

Larry, thanks for pursuing this. I upgraded to 2.6.24-rc6 last night and
I don't see this issue anymore. One might think that the clean remake
solved the problem (which I am pretty sure I did with rc5 as well); but 
still does not explain with 2.6.24-rc5, the module would not load on 
first attempt but then load after the manual:


# rmmod ssb;modprobe b43

Best regards,
Shourya
