How to blacklist Linux Kernel Modules
Blacklisting is nothing but avoiding automatic loading of Linux Kernel Modules.
Two ways to avoid blacklist a particular module:
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf:
1. Open /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf file in your editor
2. Replace the 'drivername' in the below line with the name of your driver.
blacklist drivername
3. Reboot the system
In the above case, we are disabling 'psmouse' driver
Kernel Command Line:
Add the following : 'modprobe.blacklist=drivername' into your kernel command line to blacklist the particular module
You can see the ethernet driver 'e1000' has not loaded after we added 'modprobe.blacklist=e1000' into the kernel command line
