I have kernel module autoloading disabled in my kernel but it still autoloads modules. Anyone know how to stop this behaviour ?

As far as I know the /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.* does the autoloading of kernel modules, at least on startup. I could be wrong tho.

dont have coldplug installed....the messages wiz off the screen very quickly but I see:

udev .. somthing [ok]

and then a whole bunch of modules load...some of them I want but dont want them all the time.

ok I have stopped this behavior by:

adding "blacklist ipw2200" and other modules to /etc/modules.d/blacklist,
modules-update fails to generate /etc/modprobe.conf.

how can I stop it load all modules ?
