udev autoloads modules via the /lib/udev/modprobe.sh script as part of the bootup process. In some cases this is highly undesirable because there are many modules built solely for testing purposes that should NOT be autoloaded, or load order becomes important. There was recently added an option to automatically blacklist modules listed in modules.autoload but this doesn't go far enough in my opinion. Rather than having to hunt down all the modules I *don't* want, I should at least have the option to tell udev to NEVER autoload modules. Right now the only way I can figure out to do that is to add "exit 0" at the top of /lib/udev/modprobe.sh. And every time that file is updated, I forget about the module change (I always automerge changes to /lib etc), so when my system reboots it's all messed up again. So, please add an option to disable this (imho) annoying behavior, like in conf.d or something. Reproducible: Always
Kernel autoloads modules, not udev. If you want this, disable it in kernel, nice way to get unbootable system. The wrapper was there for something completely different and is gone in >=115-r3
