udev blacklisting?
I have a DVB card that stupidly uses the same PCI ID as the bttv cards.
Loading the bttv module causes a hard lock. I need to prevent this
module being auto loaded by udev. In the past when hotplug was used, I
simply added bttv to the /etc/hotplug/blacklist file. udev seems to
ignore this file and loads the module anyway.
Anyone know where I need to modify things to blacklist it? I've seen
somewhere that said to list it in the blacklist file, which doesn't do
anything. Another place said to add "MODULES={!modulename}" to udev's
rc.conf, but there doesn't seem to be a file by that name, so I'm not
sure where I'd add that. MODULES is also not mentioned in the manual, so
I have my doubts about that one.
