Stop loading the modules
 

Hi All:
I am using the Debian 3.1 (kernel 2.6).
When I type "lsmod" the list is shown below:

I found that there are some modules I don't need.
I know I can remove the module by "rmmod".
However, I want to "stop loading the modules while startup"?

What can I do?

Thanks.

Add the names of the modules to the hotplug blacklist - /etc/hotplug/blacklist, if I remember correctly.
