CentOS - Sep 2019 - How to disable i915 module

I am setting up CentOS 7 on my new firewall.  This will run as a head-
less system, accessed via a serial console when necessary.  It's only a
2GB system, so I don't see any reason to have the GPU consuming any of
the RAM.

I've blacklisted the i915, drm, and drm_kms_helper modules and rebuilt
the initramfs, but the i915 module is still being loaded.

Anyone know what might be loading the module and how I can stop it?

TIA!

Turns out that I had to also blacklist snd_hda_intel.  It was loading
the i915 module because of the HDMI audio output.
