Problem with blacklisting kernel modules with boot parameter

[Marcin Zajączkowski]

Hi,


I was playing with Fedora 16 Alpha and I've got a problem with Kernel
3.x and a camera in my laptop preventing me from installation [1].

The workaround seems to blacklist a uvcvideo kernel module, but because
it's an installation process and can't just add module to
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf (without a LiveCD customization).

I've read about rd.blacklist boot parameter [2] which should work
starting with Fedora 12 (as I understand it) [3], but in my case it doesn't.

I've tried with rd.blacklist=uvcvideo and blacklist=uvcvideo at boot
time, but uvcvideo is still loaded. Is there something else I've missed
or this could be a bug in Fedora 16 Alpha?
