Unloading a module that has allocated some resource and not freed it is
normally a good way to cause a fatal accident. I'm not sure what your printk
is doing. It maybe you are sending all the messages to syslogd. When I'm
debugging I turn off syslogd/syslogk/klogd in the bootup scripts so I get
everything immediately.
