Boot-time loading of modules...

[Colin Alie <calie@engmail.uwaterloo.ca>]

Hello all,

I'm trying to figure out how boot-time loading of modules is
controlled.  I'm trying to keep vesafb from loading.  I'm running the
stock 2.6.8-1-386 kernel from sarge.  Below is a little bit of
information regarding what I've tried so far:

- I remved the parameter vga=xxx from my kernel command line; it now
stands as root=/dev/hda1 ro
- I thought that removing /lib/modules/2.6.8-1-386/initrd/vesafb,ko
would help but it's absence hasn't made a difference
- I can find no reference to vesafb in /etc (nothing in /etc/modules and
grep --recursive vesafb /etc turns up nothing)

Thanks in advance for your help.  Until next time, Colin.
