Disable a driver

You can disable a malfunctioning driver during the installation process.

Before you begin

  • You have booted into the installation media’s bootloader (GRUB) menu.

Procedure

  1. From the boot menu, press the E key on your keyboard to display the boot command line.
  2. Append the modprobe.blacklist=driver_name boot option to the command line.

    Replace driver_name with the name of the driver or drivers you want to disable, for example:

    modprobe.blacklist=ahci

    Drivers disabled by using the modprobe.blacklist= boot option remain disabled on the installed system and appear in the /etc/modprobe.d/anaconda-blacklist.conf file.

  3. Press Enter to start the boot process.
