When I tried to give nousb as a kernel option I got an error from rc.sysinit. It turned out that there was an error in the if statement testing for the nousb option to be present in /proc/cmdline. The following patch should fix it: --- /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit.org Fri Aug 4 23:39:44 2000 +++ /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit Tue Aug 1 03:11:04 2000 @@ -146,7 +146,7 @@ # Initialize USB controller and HID devices -if [ grep -q "nousb" /proc/cmdline 2>/dev/null ]; then +if grep -qi "nousb" /proc/cmdline 2>/dev/null ; then usb=0 else usb=1 (BTW, the reason I needed to use nousb was that I got an OOPS when the USB module was insmod'ed, so I figured I would just turn it of since I do not use USB anyway. Contact me if you want information about that OOPS and I will see if I can get it to happen again.)
