+.B blacklist <list of kernel modules>
+.RS
+blacklist option was recently being used to prevent loading modules in
+initramfs. General terminology for blacklist has been that module is
+present in initramfs but it is not actually loaded in kernel. Hence
+retaining blacklist option creates more confusing behavior. It has been
+deprecated.
+.PP
+Instead use rd.driver.blacklist option on second kernel to blacklist
+a certain module. One can edit /etc/sysconfig/kdump.conf and edit
+KDUMP_COMMANDLINE_APPEND to pass kernel command line options. Refer
+to dracut.cmdline man page for more details on module blacklist option.
