All, I have had no suggestions for how to specify usbquirks on RHEL - is my only option trying Ubuntu now?

Thanks for the response; if I can't get this working I'll give Mythbuntu a go I guess. With regards quirks, the issue is that it doesn't work without that, so I need to work out how to specify the quirks mode in RHEL. I am obviously doing something wrong currently, hence the error message.

IMHO, http://www.mythbuntu.org/downloads is a better choice for a HTPC, but on to questions and answers: I personally haven't found any reason to explore the usbquirks world on RHEL5. Perhaps it is just I have non-quirky hardware, but if it works without the quirk option I would simply remove it.

I am almost there, but current getting stuck with trying to get my Imon VFD device working; following a HOWTO for other Linux distributions I apparently need to specify the following in my /etc/grub.conf file: > > (all on one line, before the mail client wraps it) > kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-53.1.14.el5 root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 ro rhgb quiet usbhid.quirks=0x15c2:0x0036:0x4 > > However, when I do that and reboot, I get the following error in /var/log/messages > > May 14 12:26:51 htpc kernel: Kernel command line: root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 ro rhgb quiet usbhid.quirks=0x15c2:0x0036:0x4 > May 14 12:26:51 htpc kernel: Unknown boot option `usbhid.quirks=0x15c2:0x0036:0x4': ignoring > > Is usbhid.quirks supported in RHEL-5?
