Unable to blacklist modules

I want to blacklist the pcmcia and yenta modules as I don't use the pcmcia card slots in this laptop. I created a file "/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist" , added the appropriate module names, but they still get loaded by the kernel.

Any ideas?

Re: Unable to blacklist modules

Verify that modules are not listed in /etc/rcS.conf LOAD_MODULES=

If blacklist is ignored delete modules.

For example:

#modprobe -l | grep -i -e pcmcia.ko.gz -e yenta_socket.ko.gz

/lib/modules/2.6.37-slitaz/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/pcmcia.ko.gz

/lib/modules/2.6.37-slitaz/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/yenta_socket.ko.gz

#rm /lib/modules/2.6.37-slitaz/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/pcmcia.ko.gz

#rm /lib/modules/2.6.37-slitaz/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/yenta_socket.ko.gz

#depmod -a
