Hi,

I currently trying to blacklist module usb-storage to prevent the same king of behaviour.
I preseed lenny installation from PXE network boot. And I blacklist usb-storage like that :

LABEL lenny
        kernel /debian/lenny/i386/linux
        append auto usb_storage.blacklist=yes url=ftp://xxx/xx.preseed
        initrd=/debian/lenny/i386/initrd.gz noacpi --

The entry is correctly add in /etc/modprobe/blacklist.local but the module is
loaded ...

So it seems that udev doesn't take care of /etc/modprobe/blacklist.local.

Any help ?

Thanks a lot in advance
