Bug#686517: initramfs-tools: module bridge loaded although blacklisted
Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.99~bpo60+1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
in order to run openvswitch as bridge replacement, I tried to disable the kernel bridge module the usual way: I created a file /etc/modprobe.d/bridge.conf with the content "blacklist bridge"
Then I ran update-initramfs
The freshly booted machine still had bridge loaded, which interferes with openvswitch working, especially brcompat.
I had to remove the kernel module, depmod and update-initramfs to get rid of bridge.
I suspect initramfs-tools to ignore the blacklist, because when I just removed the module but didn't run update-initramfs I saw the log message "bridge not found".
