Debian Hardware :: Saa7134 Alsa Module Won't Unload

I have a hard time unloading a module (that is it's more stubborn than an aging leprechaun) that is being reported as not being used by lsmod:

Code: Select allroot@groot:~# modprobe -vr saa7134_alsa
modprobe: FATAL: Module saa7134_alsa is in use.
root@groot:~# lsmod | grep saa
saa7134_alsa           17686  0
saa7134               174878  1 saa7134_alsa
tveeprom               20593  1 saa7134

[Code] .....

Why I would need such an outlandish thing is that after I was forced to do a system reinstall thus losing my previous conf files I've been trying to reinstall my saa7134 tvcard. Normally i2c should handle the problem but it won't detect it. So I have a nice little script I found and modified to find the correct card although it is a bit tedious to run:

Code: Select all#/bin/sh
MAXCARD=150
for m in $(seq 0 $MAXCARD);
do
MAXTUNER=69
for i in $(seq 0 $MAXTUNER);

[Code] ...

But I can't unload saa7134 because saa7134_alsa is using it, and I can't unload saa7134_alsa, because, well, because the system doesn't feel like it. I've blacklisted the module (saa7134_alsa) but it gets loaded none the less and won't go away.
