How to prevent kernel from loading ehci_hcd module?


Hey!

I figured out my usb problem (port not working) was because of the ehci_hcd module. When i do
/sbin/rmmod ehci_hcd
My USB ports work.

How can i tell the kernel not to load this module?

I tried to put the guy in /etc/hotplug/blacklist but it didn't work...

Thanks

Manu

You could try looking in /etc/modprobe.conf to see if the module is listed there, then comment out the line that loads it.
