Hello,
Since update from linux 4.5.4-1 to 4.6.2-1 i am unable to load the kernel module nct6775 used for hardware monitoring.
There is no hardware freeze, but the modprobe process is in a "uninterruptible sleep", I cannot kill it and have to "hard reboot".
This module is quiet standard and related hardware quiet common. Nothing is mentionned on kernel's bugzilla nor arch's bug tracker, so I would like to check with the community before opening a bug.
Anybody here is experiencing the same issue ?
Cheers,
CH.

Downgrading to 4.5.4-1 fixes the issue. I opened FS 49724.

My system is loading nct6775 without issue though I'm not directly using modprobe. I'm doing mine via systemd-modules-load.service, so you could try to see if that works for you.

I had the same problem. I figured that modprobe coretemp nct6775 was hung. After a while I could see messages in journal:
kernel: INFO: task modprobe:610 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

Downgrade to 4.5.4-1 helped.

hello, i'm using Intel NUC 5I5RYH, try to insert it into kernel
[root@dino ~]# egrep ^MODULES /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
MODULES="coretemp nct6775"
solved for me
don't forget to run: mkinitcpio -p linux
I¨m running
[root@dino ~]# uname -a
Linux dino 4.6.2-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Jun 8 08:40:59 CEST 2016 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Hi michi and all,
You made my day, this works like a charm, thank you very much.
I opened a bug to Arch devs too, and mentioned your trick to see if the issue is with Arch kernel or upstream.
I will come back here once the full story is ended, and will use the mkinitcpio trick until then.
Cheers to all of you.
