Here is the solution i use to properly prevent a module from loading. I create a file /etc/modprobe.conf/local and in this file, i write a line for every module i don't want: install module_name /bin/true When the kernel install the module, this line tell the kernel what to do to install it (here nothing, it simply call /bin/true). cu. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
