So I found the cause.. something had decided to create a /etc/modprobe.conf (which doesnt call /etc/modprobe.d/*) The contents of it was "options parport_pc io=0x378 irq=7 dma=3" if anyone could tell me the culprit from that (i think its serial port related, but no idea what package it might be)- I have had this several times before, so some package is behaving badly...
Anyway, mostly posting this so if anyone else has this problem (that the blacklist seems to have no effect) they should check if /etc/modprobe.conf exists and if so, does it load /etc/modprobe.d/* init did actually print a warning, but X usually comes up so quick that I miss it Anton 2008/10/28 Andres Migliazzo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: >> Well I've a Sound Blaster Live card and I experimented the same issue, I >> had to run the alsaconf script every time that I booted the system.
