I see now. Well, not being a kernel hacker i thought that the code below is responsible for the absence of the usb* modules: config-2.6.32-131.2.1.el6.i686: # # USB Input Devices # CONFIG_USB_HID=y CONFIG_HID_PID=y i assume ( maybe incorrectly) that to get usb as modules, the lines above should have "m" instead of "y". Was wondering if this is true or not. Andrew
