Here is the blacklist factoid from #debian:


!blacklist
In lenny and later, create/edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.local.conf and 
add a line similar to this (without quotes): "blacklist module_name". 
If this doesn't work, do 'echo "install modulename /bin/true" >> 
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.local.conf'.  IMPORTANT: ask about 
<blacklist-initramfs>.  To blacklist a module at installation time, ask 
me about <installer blacklist>.
