usbquirks in grub.conf on RHEL-5?

[David Hobley]

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. 

Cheers, 
David

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.
