I am having an issue with the ssb module. I've added it to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist yet udev still loads it during boot. I figured if I disabled coldplugging all together by changing, the RC_COLDPLUG flag to no in /etc/conf.d/rc, would help. I already know what modules I need so I really don't need coldplugging since its loads the modules I am already loading. Another thing, I discovered that the ohci-hcd module depends on the ssb at which I added both to the blacklist in hopes of stopping it from being loaded but to no avail. I am attaching my emerge.info Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Edit /etc/conf.d/rc and change RC_COLDPLUG flag to no 2.Edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and add "blacklist ssb" and "blacklist ochi-hcd" 3.reboot Actual Results: Cold plugging is still enabled and the ssb module is still loaded Expected Results: Cold plugging should have been disabled and ssb should have not been loaded

OpenRC only uses /etc/rc.conf, not /etc/conf.d/rc What is more, that only controls the hotplugging of services, not modules. You need to configure udev for module coldplugging.
What versions of udev and openrc do you use? Have a look at /etc/conf.d/udev for disabling coldplugging in udev.
To check if udev causes ssb to be loaded you could edit the udev initscript and a call to lsmod near the end of _start. In case you still have the directory /etc/modules.d/ you not only need to change the files in /etc/modprobe.d/, but also need to run update-modules after it. I think if a module depends on any other module, blacklisting the depended module has absolutely no effect. Does switching the coldplugging of in /etc/conf.d/udev gives any results?
