Blacklisting

From FrugalWiki

Jump to: navigation, search



Blacklisting when refering to Kernel modules is a mechanism to stop the kernel module loading. This is either when the associated hardware is not required to be used, or loading that module causes problems.

For example there may be a two kernel modules, that if they get loaded together try to control the same piece of hardware resulting in a conflict.

Blacklisting can be done by editing /etc/sysconfig/blacklist file.

Then, assuming the module you want to blacklist is called foo, just add:

 blacklist foo
