Learning Linux | Linux for sysadmins -- Blacklisting kernel modules
The Linux kernel is fairly intelligent about detecting and identifying hardware and then loading the correct driver. In Linux these drivers are called kernel modules.
Sometimes though Linux either gets it wrong, or you want to stop a driver from loading for other reasons. That's when you need to blacklist a kernel module. nVidia GPU owners will want to learn how to work this so they can blacklist the horrible nouveau* driver after they install the nVidia driver.
*nouveau apologists can stifle it before they open their mouths, not interested. It's junk, get over it and use the nVidia driver.
