Hi

I have remove "sony.pi" modules, but my kernel is keep loading it at
the startup. How do I permentaly remove it


This is how I did it

modprobe -r sony.pi

then I tried "update-modules"

************************************************************************

* The update-modules command is deprecated and should not be used!

good gave me following command "depmod"

so I typed "depmod -r"


My kernel is keep loading at it at the startup. What am I doing wrong?

Many distros uses nowadays modules-update, but befor you use it you need to
remove the module itself from /lib/modules/<your kernel version>/... and then
run the update-modules/moudules-update.

Depending your distro, there may be a more permanent solution, I suggest you
take a look at the homepage of your distro how to prevent loading of a module.

I will just compile a new kernel on this laptop Sad Part of wanna keep
kubuntu on my laptop, but it's about time I move to a more lovely
distro. I think I'll go with gentoo. I may also try BSD, I am very
sick of ubuntu/kubuntu. They sucks big time.

In Debian/Ubuntu/Kubuntu there is a file in /etc/modprobe.d called
'blacklist"

Just add it in there :)

BSD vs Linux: With Linux you have better hardware support, but you may lack
the stability of BSD. You need to make some research before you try out BSD.

Gentoo is a good option if you have the time to compile everything, if you
have more than one machine, one that is more powerfull than your laptop, I
would suggest you use distcc, which allows you to use the cpu from another
computer to compile your packages, this can in cases where you compile KDE,
openoffice and other big useful things to half the compile time or even more
(depending on your mosnter sized desktop).
