How to prevent a module from attempting to load in Gentoo?


Hi, I was kind of messing about with the nvidia drivers for my nforce 2.0 motherboard, and I think I kinda accidentally compiled the nvnet (official Nividia driver) from the source tarball avaialble from the nvidia site. Well anyway, the thing is after doing make and make install and then running modules-update, when I reboot, I get maybe 50 errors about unresolved symbols when this driver tries to load.

I know I probably don't need it, but I was curious if it provided any better performance.

But what I can't understand is, why is it trying to load? I haven't added it to /etc/modules.autoload/kernel-2.4.26 - which is the kernel I am using - and I haven't specified that it should try to load from anywhere else either.

The problem now is I just want rid of it and to stop these anoying error messages.

Please can anyone tell me how to prevent this bogus module from trying to load at boot time? I have nvidia network support built into my kernel anyway - and it's more than good enough.

Any input would be appreciated.

GJ
