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:

unix 26036 14
usbcore 104164 3 uhci_hcd,ohci_hcd,ehci_hcd
vesafb 6688 0


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.
