Linux 2.6 PCI layer generates hotplug events which trigger module loading (by looking up the ids in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules.pcimap). > b) adding following lines to modprobe.conf: > install modulename1 /bin/false > install modulename2 /bin/false Wouldn't this prevent manual loading with "modprobe foo", too? Debian has /etc/hotplug/blacklist.d/ (although I'm not sure if it still works with latest greatest udev). Johannes
