A driver module loaded automatically sounds like udev is installed.

It is possible, I believe, to blacklist a module from ever getting
automatically loaded by udev.

Also, it is possible to avoid udev altogether, by using the ramdisk
generator "yaird" instead of "initramfs-tools", chosen by default.

Even if the problem can be worked around as mentioned above, this still
sounds like a kernel bug to me.

I just wanted to draw attention to the possible workarounds.
