Hi, it is very nice that hotplug has a blacklist, but what would add modules to hotplug's blacklist affect if they are loaded before by coldplug? So I have coded a workaround into my coldplug-init-script by adding following lines: if [ -e /etc/coldplug/blacklist ] then ebegin "Unloading blacklisted modules" for mod in `egrep -e "^[^\#]" /etc/coldplug/blacklist` do modprobe -r $mod done eend 0 fi Now, I can create a blacklist for coldplug in /etc/coldplug/blacklist or symlink my /etc/hotplug/blacklist to this location. It would be very nice if it would be adopt into the offical gentoo-coldplug-initscript. Thanks.
