Boot parameter modprobe.blacklist=nouveau

I searched the site → https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kernel_module and → https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ke … ametersbut I can't see the answer to my question

How does the system reboot from reboot with the boot parameter modprobe.blacklist=nouveau

I have a GRUB. Should I add an option at system startup?

I'm not sure what you are asking. If you want that kernel parameter set, then add it to the appropriate section for your chosen boot loader as detailed in the kernel parameters page... but the only reason I can think of that someone wants to blacklist nouveau is if they intend to use the nvidia drivers, but the nvidia package (... and all subiterations -lts,-dkms) do already set up an appropriate modprobe blacklist file anyway.

I understand now. I have modified the /etc/default/grub files and currently have:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT = "loglevel = 3 quiet modprobe.blacklist = nouveau"

For me it is a fight... I was supported by a post → https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comm … &context=3
Someone has a similar problem to me. Unfortunately for me this is not the solution, despite adding a parameter to the kernel.

Did you read the next line in the article Lone_Wolf linked for you?

Well again, assuming this is related to your other thread, there's no evidence that nouveau is loaded. So the blacklist/whether the one you added here or the one that's already part of the package seems to work.

lsmod | grep nouveau

if that doesn't give you output, nouveau is not loaded and you can mark this thread as [SOLVED] by editing the title in your first post.
