Track down loaded module that prevents another module from loading

# modprobe f71882fg
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'f71882fg': Device or resource busy
# dmesg

I think another module prevents it from loading, how to track it down?

Re: Track down loaded module that prevents another module from loading

In this case it's ACPI.

BTW, on some boards it's possible to read sensors through ACPI and you may have a driver for that already loaded - run sensors to check. Still no access to fan controllers, though.
