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?

I've always seen that spelled rdblacklist (no dot).
Thanks for your reply. I just tried it, but with no effect. What is more I tried to blacklist some minor module on an another computer with Fedora 14 using rd.blacklist, rdblacklist and blacklist - module was loaded all the time.
Could someone confirm that blacklisting at boot level really works for him/her?
Regards Marcin

In F12 the nVidia driver needed rdblacklist=nouveau on the kernel line.
After two stages of preupgrade this no longer appears in my F14 grub.conf Not directly relevant but it did work in F12.
