Can ANYONE help? I am trying to prevent parport (and parport_pc, lp) from loading at bootup on Deb Sarge with no success short of brute force (hiding the actual module from the OS) which results in ugly messages about undefined symbols and is at best potentially dangerous (for other modules with more interdependence, anyway). I have tried blacklisting in hotplug, skip(ping) in discover, "alias parport off" in modprobe.d/(various files???), rebuilding initrd.img without the parpoort modules present, all methods at the same time, etc. and NOTHING WORKS PROPERLY! Either the modules load or lots of ugly messages on boot up. Rhetorical question: what is the point in a loadable module if you still need to rebuild the kernel (or all the modules, at least) with the unwanted module excluded to prevent the module from loading?
Is there a correct, consistent, centralised way of stopping a module from loading? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
