I've looked into /etc/modprobe.conf, but couldn't > find anything DVB related there. First check if the modules are in /etc/modprobe.preload, since modules in that file are loaded when booting. If not, it must be a SuSE specific module autoloading. I'm not SuSE user, so I don't know if there is any proper method for disabling that. However, you can block modprobing certain modules by either: a) removing the modules from /lib/modules/2.6.13/kernel/drivers/media/dvb/ or b) adding following lines to modprobe.conf: install modulename1 /bin/false install modulename2 /bin/false and so on. -- Anssi Hannula
