+Sometimes it may be necessary to blacklist a module to prevent it from
+being loaded automatically by the kernel and udev. One reason could be that
+a particular module causes problems with your hardware. The kernel also
+sometimes lists two different drivers for the same device. This can cause

+driver is loaded first.

+You can blacklist a module using the following syntax:

+This will cause the module to be blacklisted in

+installation and for the installed system.

+Note that a module may still be loaded by the installation system itself.
