of course debian gives you a way to control what modules are loaded. look at /etc/modules and /etc/modules.confDebian systems should honor /etc/modules, and *not* continue to load everything else./etc/modules tells a system what TO load, not what NOT TO load. see modules.conf for that. you want entries like "alias module_name off" for modules that you don't ever want loaded. see the docs for more details.
My /etc/modules.conf say this at the top: ### This file is automatically generated by update-modules" # # Please do not edit this file directly. If you want to change or add # anything please take a look at the files in /etc/modutils and read # the manpage for update-modules. #So, if I add a bunch of "alias .... off" to that file will I break something? Also, if there is an update (kernel, modutils, etc) will I loose those settings and have to recreate them?
