Hi, I have to disable automatic module loading in RedHat 4.4 and in Fedora5. How do I go about it? My intention is to run the machine at runlevel 1 by passing kernel parameter `single` to the command line. I need no modules to be loaded at this stage. I created an initrd which takes out all `#modprobe modulename`. But some modules like e1000.ko, ehci_hcd.ko and ohci_hcd.ko are automatically loaded. I removed the corresponding lines from /etc/modprobe.conf. No avail. Where are these modules getting loaded from? They have no dependencies in the modules.dep. No module depend on their loading as well.
May be, try disabling the loadable module support from the kernel altogether? Thanks, Rajat -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel. Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/kernelnewbies/ FAQ: http://kernelnewbies.org/faq/
