I need $SUBJECT for the following situation:
I don't know how to disable automounting, but you can create fake entries on fstab for all possible sd** entries, with noauto or ignore. Or was it none?
Just to summarize what I found to work (in case anybody else needs this, too): - Using "brokenmodules=libata" at the Grub prompt doesn't work, as the system hangs afterwards. - Listing all modules in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/ata/ in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and then regenerating the initrd will cause the system to not find any SATA disk anymore after the next boot: # ls /lib/modules/*/kernel/drivers/ata/*.ko | \ sed -e 's,^/.*/\([^/]*\.ko\)$,blacklist \1,' | \ sort -u >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist In case a kernel update should be installed afterwards, you have to regenerate /boot/grub/device.map *before* installing the new kernel; something like # rm /boot/grub/device.map # echo "quit" | grub --batch generates a new one with (hd0) correctly referring to the USB stick.
