I could be wrong, but I think --ignore-install just bypasses the
install option of an alias to prevent loops. I do not think you can
use it to block the install of a module. The remove option is only
processed when you rum "modprobe -r <module>" to remove a module.
The blacklist option should prevent a module from being loaded.
