modprobe lirc_atiusb hangs

Greetings,
I'm experiencing a hang when loading the lirc modules, modprobe just hangs 
there forever until I kill it.

strace modprobe lirc_atiusb debug=1
...
open("/lib/modules/2.6.15-gentoo-r5/misc/lirc_atiusb.ko", O_RDWR) = 3
fcntl64(3, F_SETLKW, {type=F_WRLCK, whence=SEEK_SET, start=0, len=1}) = 0
open("/proc/modules", O_RDONLY)         = 4
fstat64(4, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0444, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
mmap2(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 
0xb7f23000
read(4, "lirc_dev 14084 0 - Live 0xf92b10"..., 1024) = 115
read(4, "", 1024)                       = 0
close(4)                                = 0
munmap(0xb7f23000, 4096)                = 0
fcntl64(3, F_GETFL)                     = 0x2 (flags O_RDWR)
fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=24171, ...}) = 0
mmap2(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 
0xb7f23000
_llseek(3, 0, [0], SEEK_CUR)            = 0
read(3, "\177ELF\1\1\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\1\0\3\0\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 16384) 
= 16384
read(3, "\2\0\0\0\0\0\0\0@+\0\0#\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\4\0\0\0\0"..., 16384) 
= 7787
read(3, "", 8192)                       = 0
read(3, "", 8192)                       = 0
init_module("ELF", 0x5e6
(it hangs here)

at this point /proc/modules looks like:
cat /proc/modules
lirc_atiusb 18097 1 - Loading 0xf929a000
lirc_dev 14084 1 lirc_atiusb, Live 0xf92b1000
nvidia_agp 7196 1 - Live 0xf9281000
agpgart 30160 1 nvidia_agp, Live 0xf928b000

also at this point all I see in the log is:
Feb 26 13:57:04 procrustes lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, at

if I killall modprobe it then finishes?:
killall modprobe
cat /proc/modules

agpgart 30160 1 nvidia_agp, Live 0xf928b000
lsmod

agpgart                30160  1 nvidia_agp


and I get additional info in the log:

Again everything appears to work fine once I kill the modprobe, but it'd be 
nice to have it load cleanly to begin with.

Any help is appreciated!
