Sorry, I didn't make it clear. I did load acpihp_enum module first, and then load acpihp_drv.

And I just tried it some more times. It just hung up, but dmesg had no output.
Like this:

# modprobe acpihp_enum
(OK, and sysfs interfaces have been created)
# modprobe acpihp_drv
(hang up)

# dmesg
(nothing)

The "modprobe acpihp_drv" process's call trace shows that it hung at the following function:
#0  0x00000032836aab80 in __nanosleep_nocancel () from /lib64/libc.so.6
#1  0x00000032836deb64 in usleep () from /lib64/libc.so.6
......

I have tried several times and I cannot reproduce the situation I just said.
Maybe my box has something different with yours. And I'll try to find out why.

Thanks for your advice. :)
