xch Posted Sunday at 02:35 PM Posted Sunday at 02:35 PM (edited) I'm using this community maintained Bookworm image published for OrangePi Zero . I cannot unload this minimal kernel module for some reason. Some information that could be useful: `uname -a` output: Linux orangepizero 6.12.23-current-sunxi #2 SMP Thu Apr 10 12:39:41 UTC 2025 armv7l GNU/Linux `zcat /proc/config.gz | grep UNLOAD` output CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=y CONFIG_MODULE_FORCE_UNLOAD=y # CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD_TAINT_TRACKING is not set Some information to replicate the issue: install required packages: sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade # reboot sudo apt install build-essential linux-headers-current-sunxi -y Source code: #include <linux/module.h> #include <linux/init.h> static int __init on_init(void) { return 0; } static void __exit on_exit(void) { } module_init(on_init); module_exit(on_exit); MODULE_LICENSE("GPL"); Makefile: obj-m += testmod.o all: make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) modules clean: make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) clean Expected `dmesg` output after `insmod testmod.ko` [53949.545615] testmod: loading out-of-tree module taints kernel.
