Sorry. The original problem description and mirrored package may be a
bit misleading. I believe that real issue is that the installer is
*not* using "-b", so any blacklist options passed via the kernel cmdline
are not being honored. Tagging the package as "debian-installer" to
focus on the install-time issue of needing to be able to blacklist
modules during the install. Passing blacklist options are reported to
work in 16.04 Pre-GA, so it appears that something changed (either in
the installer, or in modprobe handling). But, the bottom line problem
we need to have solved is getting the installer to honor any
blacklisting passed on the cmdline.

Title:
modprobe does not honor blacklist options in kernel cmdline unless -b
is used (at least on the installer)

---Problem Description---
modprobe does not honor blacklist options in kernel cmdline unless -b is used
(at least on the installer)
The modprobe.blacklist option is required as a work-around until a solution
to a device-driver bug is found (IBM LTC bug 138273).
I've gone through the code of the kmod src pkg, but didn't spot anything
obvious.
Passing along to the Ubuntu team.

---Steps to Reproduce---
Boot the installer w/ this boot/kernel cmdline option (the alias w/ dashes
is not required, but is here just in case):
modprobe.blacklist=scsi_dh_alua,scsi-dh-alua
On the dialog for username/password, select Go Back, then Exit to
shell:
The blacklist is detected/present in the config:
~ # modprobe -c | grep alua
blacklist scsi_dh_alua
blacklist scsi-dh-alua
But the module is insmod-ed anyway:
~ # modprobe -v -n scsi-dh-alua
insmod
/lib/modules/4.4.0-21-generic/kernel/drivers/scsi/device_handler/scsi_dh_alua.ko
Unless -b is used:
~ # modprobe -v -n -b scsi-dh-alua
~ #
