Hi there, Unfortunately, the /etc/init.d/kvm and /etc/init.d/qemu-kvm init scripts in previous Ubuntu releases (9.10 and earlier) didn't respect the module blacklists. I have corrected this in Ubuntu 10.04 by using modprobe -b. Thus for Ubuntu 10.04 forward, you should be able to use the blacklist appropriately. For other release, you can disable the init script entirely as the other responder wrote. Or you can edit the /etc/init.d/kvm or /etc/init.d/qemu-kvm init script and add the "-b" option to the modprobe calls in there. -- :-Dustin -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
