Hi, sorry for the trouble, but even after commenting the USB lines from GENERIC, and a "make buildkernel" I see the following in dmesg:
usb0: OHCI version 1.0, legacy support usb0: SMM does not respond, resetting usb0: <OHCI (generic) USB controller> on ohci0 usb0: USB revision 1.0 uhub0: (0x1166) OHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1 uhub0: 4 ports with 4 removable, self powered Is there something else I need to do to disable USB support in the kernel?
