They are unsafe to unload because it is possible that unloading them could cause very serious problems. To unload those, you must have enabled CONFIG_MODULE_FORCE_UNLOAD (for Forced Module Unloading):
OK, now I'm confused. Why, then, would the kernel be attempting to load _and_ unload these drivers during boot? I only noticed this because I got the warnings that the kernel had attempted to unload them and failed during boot.
I can't figure out what is causing piix or ide_probe_mod to be loaded in the first place, either. 'grep -r piix /etc/*' returns nothing...
I'm not sure. Do you have discover or kudzu installed (both are hardware autodetectors that may try loading/unloading modules to figure out what you have. Just a thought.
