I've thought of another;-)

It's hard to start using another init without rebooting.

And some problems are best solved with a reboot; yesterday I couldn't 
figure why I couldn't print (printer's on another machine). After fiddling 
around with lpd and lpc commands, I gave up.

Later I rebooted for some other reason (the system hung!! and I had to 
resort to the reset button) and the printing got done.

But yes, I did install support for my SCSI CD device without rebooting, & 
that included building and installing kernel modules.
