Try modprobe.blacklist=module_name to blacklist the loading of the
module at boot time. You can still insert it later if you need.

Title:
  module_name.blacklist=yes not working as designed

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  When booting oneiric Beta 1 via PXE (netboot.tar.gz) with the documented blacklist parameter, in this case "usb.storage.blacklist=yes", the installer fails with "Error while running 'modprobe -v usb-storage'".
  This is due to the fact that the blacklist parameter is also passed to the module itself, which doesn't know anything about this parameter.
  You can veryify this via dmesg:
  usb_storage: Unknown parameter 'blacklist'
