It was a long time ago that I succesfull blacklisted a kernel module.

That doc doesn't tell the full path of the "black list file"
Being curious about the full path, I searched on system here available
and found /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
It didn't contain module names I had add myself, so now
I'm curious if /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist works for the original poster.
