Module loading in FC4

tcamp · 07-26-2005, 08:07 AM

For my tape drive to work properly, I need the SG module to be loaded, and the module ST to NOT be loaded. Currently I find that ST is automatically being loaded on boot-up and I would like to prevent this. Does anyone know which file I need to change to prevent the ST module from being loaded?

I have a fairly new Fedora 4 install. I don't have a /etc/rc.modules file or any *.module files in /etc/sysconfig/modules.

I have tried to understand the rc.sysinit script but it goes over my head!

Thanks for any suggestions.

To prevent a module from being loaded, add its name to /etc/hotplug/blacklist.
