This means that the kernel module is crashing. There are some known
issues about using syscall hooking with Linux 2.6:

This would explain why the module is "in use" and cannot be removed.

As far as I know, the latest Fedora kernels don't allow syscall
hooking. I believe the only way to successfully install Dazuko on the
latest Fedora is to apply the Dazuko 2.3.5-pre1 kernel patch and build
a new kernel.

This can be found on the Dazuko Downloads page. The included README
provides more details about it.

(But if you are not comfortable building a Linux kernel, this may not
be an option for you.)

Usually mail clients have a "reply all" button, which will
automatically add all the appropriate addresses.

Another option is to do a reply, but manually change the recipient
address to be the mailing list.

(It is a good habit to always check the "To:" field (recipient) before
posting or answering on a mailing list. Make sure the email is going
where you want it go. ;)

Using "reply" or "reply all" is important because it preserves mail
reference information so that other people can easily track the
discussion.
