    Hello all,

    I'm trying to figure out how boot-time loading of modules is
    controlled. I'm trying to keep vesafb from loading. I'm running the
    stock 2.6.8-1-386 kernel from sarge. Below is a little bit of
    information regarding what I've tried so far:

    - I remved the parameter vga=xxx from my kernel command line; it now
    stands as root=/dev/hda1 ro
    - I thought that removing /lib/modules/2.6.8-1-386/initrd/vesafb,ko
    would help but it's absence hasn't made a difference
    - I can find no reference to vesafb in /etc (nothing in /etc/modules and
    grep --recursive vesafb /etc turns up nothing)

    Thanks in advance for your help. Until next time, Colin.
