I'm running Debian Sid w. 2.6 kernel and I just edit the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf when I don't want the onboard Intel sound card driver to install so I can use my usb headset or speakers instead.
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf # This file lists modules which will not be loaded as the result of # alias expansion, with the purpose of preventing the hotplug subsystem # to load them. It does not affect autoloading of modules by the kernel. # This file is provided by the udev package. If I understand the part about "alias expansion" above, I would presume that means if a module is listed in the modules.alias file for the current running kernel than it will get loaded. Did you check this? /lib/modules/2.6.32-1.slh.4-sidux-686# ls build modules.alias modules.dep modules.symbols kernel modules.alias.bin modules.dep.bin modules.symbols.bin You could also try rmmod command in the event that modprobe -r didn't work for some weird reason. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
