[Openchrome-users] CN400 getting unknown symbols during modprobe via

[Chad]

I am indeed a fool.  I refuse to reboot when I install new drivers, it
reminds of another lesser OS I used to use and gives me the creeps.
So, because I refuse to reboot, I forgot to unload the already running
drm module, and just unloaded the via module from original kernel
before removing it out of the kernel.

Well, at least I learned a lesson:
don't be a fool.

Thanks everyone!
