I bought a rather generic (forget the brand) USB card for my box so I can use my scanner and web cam (currently the only two ports on my box are taken up by my keyboard and mouse). I figured I could just plug the card in, turn on the box, and kudzu would detect and help me configure the damn thing. Not. A. Chance. Once we got to loading modules and mounting drives, I got an error message stating something along the lines of "mount /proc/partitions: only root can mount", it'd go through loading some modules, then when it came to mount /, it'd drop me down to an error message stating I needed to enter ro maintenance mode, but that wouldn't work because the USB modules wouldn't load! I removed the card and figured, okay. Lesson learned. Uh-uh. Same problem w/o card. Wound up reinstalling system completely (which took about half a dozen tries and two days due to various errors). I tried at first to do a fresh install with the card. Everything seemed to have gone fine, except when it tried to load the modules for the card, it'd kill the module for my keyboard and mouse and the X Server wouldn't start! Another half a dozen tries later I finally have a working system w/o the USB card. The card supported USB 2.0.
WTF happened? Does RedHat not support PCI USB cards?
