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.
