Hi, I don't know if the following scenario should be handled by kernel but here's the steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Make rtc-cmos module built-in, compile the kernel and install it onto system, 2. Keep the rtc-cmos.ko which is ABI compatible with the current kernel in /lib/modules/* so that it could be probed by udev, 3. Reboot the system. Kernel synchronizes the system clock from hardware clock as it could access /dev/rtc0, 4. Udev (141) starts, the default rule for rtc* is processed which then tries to modprobe rtc-cmos.ko which is still available in /lib/modules, 5. rtc-cmos.ko ooopses, the keyboard is dead, etc. dmesg output is attached.
