Hey, I am new on the mailing-lists, but i try to behave!

Well since i've upgraded to the next kernel, i am having some issues
with modules, and since i wanted to try out the mailinglists, this seems
to be the perfect opportunity for that.
Since i've upgraded to 2.6.27 (testing repository)
my pcspkr module is being loaded again, and i cant remove it (rmmod
pcspkr) is the module-name differrent now?
Please reply!
thank you

With the new kernel, you also need to blacklist snd_pcsp. The loading of this module can cause sound problems. If that's the case, blacklist the module and reboot. That's the easiest way to fix it.

Hello together,

i recognized that the new udev package has a file framebuffer_blacklist
in /etc/modprobe.d which blacklist the framebuffer modules.

So my question is about what is the best way to blacklist modules: Is it
rc.conf or should i create my own file under /etc/modprobe.d?

For an example i print over the net and therefore i blacklist all modules for
the parallel device in my rc.conf with "lp !parport !parport_p". Should i now
better create a file /etc/modprobe.d/attilas_blacklist with this lines:

# Comment: No need for the parallel device
blacklist lp
blacklist parport
blacklist parport_p

My next little question is that the point about Blacklisting in the
file /usr/share/udev/readme-udev-arch.txt says that i can use MOD_BLACKLIST
too but i have changed my rc.conf to use !modul because i think this way is
depreceated?

Sorry if i oversee some informations but i'm a little bit confused about what
is for archlinux the best way in the future to blacklist modules.

Last not least there is no question about that using !modul in the rc.conf
works fine as before and there is no pressure for me to change it. But for
myself a file with comments lines in modprobe.d would be more fine to
separate blacklisting informations.

See you, Attila

Sorry for answering myself but the reason is that udev 130 is out and i give
it a little test.

i now better create a file /etc/modprobe.d/attilas_blacklist with this

This does not work because all this modules get loaded and it seems that
blacklisting works only in the rc.conf.

See you, Attila
