passing kernel commands to grub2

[skypuppy]

How does one do this, please? My head is swimming in confusion trying to research this via google.
Environment is Debian 9 "stretch."
I need to turn off the buggy sp5100 module before the kernel tries to start it and I can't figure out how to do that. There are no grub config files (that I recognize) anywhere in the boot partition.

Thanks.

Black list the module via grub or in the /etc/modprobe.d/ directory

Yeah, I got that but my question was HOW to do that.

I finally went back to install -> expert install in recovery mode, answered a bunch of useless questions (for recovery mode), chose a shell for the "/" partition. Then cd'ed into /etc/modprobe.d. Then created a file called, "blacklist.conf" and put the line "blacklist sp5100_toc" and saved and quit the file. Rebooted the computer and the sp5100 error stopped coming up but an even more insidious error happened "gr ctor failed, -2." That is not something I can fix so I submitted a bug report to the Debian team. Three days I've worked on this problem only to have a much worse one show up. System completely hangs after getting that error during boot process.

But thanks for the help!
