Well I doubt that. Originally rtc.o was being loaded and was listed by
lsmod, so I figured maybe that was the problem. rtc.o gets loaded I think
automatically when my system is setting the software clock from the
hardware. But removing rtc.o from the module tree, running depmod -a, and
rebooting, I got the same result where vgscan segfaults.
