This means that it is not possible to manually load modules that are blacklisted (like watchdog modules): systemd-238/src/modules-load/modules-load.c: static int load_module(struct kmod_ctx *ctx, const char *m) { const int probe_flags = KMOD_PROBE_APPLY_BLACKLIST; ... default: err = kmod_module_probe_insert_module(mod, probe_flags, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL); if (err == 0) log_info("Inserted module '%s'", kmod_module_get_name(mod)); else if (err == KMOD_PROBE_APPLY_BLACKLIST) log_info("Module '%s' is blacklisted", kmod_module_get_name(mod)); Blacklists should _not_ be applied by systemd-modules-load.
