Seeing that hwdetect now seems to load a huge amount of
modules compare to other avenues, many people like to
blacklist the excess modules they never use.
In my personal case, I used to use a static modules array, of 6-7 modules. Now, with hwdetect, I blacklist almost 20 modules (all firewire, all pcmcia, lp stuff, pcspkr, 8139cp, intel-agp, etc). It'd be nice to have a way to blacklist an entire subsystem in one go... for instance: MOD_BLACKLIST=(pcspkr 'subsystem:firewire' 'subsystem:pcmcia') On a side note, using the existing MODULES array and checking the "!" modules, seems like an interesting idea as well, but that's all syntax. |
This task depends upon
tpowa: see.. this is why i thought that "show-what-will-load" option would be useful... it would help people resolve blacklist dependencies and such.
