In /etc/modprobe.conf.d/foo.conf add blacklist kvm if it's being loaded by hand, or install kvm /bin/false if it's being autoloaded. Then reboot. That should prevent the kvm module being loaded. (From memory -- path and module name may be wrong. It's *not* /etc/modules.) PS: vbox is stinky poo that's only useful for yukky GUI stuff. kvm is much better. _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-main
