But, thanks to the Acer Labs USB ports on my computer, the installer crashes as soon as it starts loading the USB drivers. I know that the problem is that kernel version 2.4.x doesn't like the Acer USB ports. I also know that with Redhat 7.2 I can just type in "linux nousb" and it boots up and installs just fine. For some reason though, "linux nousb" doesn't work on Redhat 7.3, and i am completly dumbfounded. If anyone has any idea how to disable USB detection while installing Redhat 7.3, please let me know.    Follow Ups:   Re: Linux USB problems with IBM Thinkpad Robert Marquardt   Posted at: 05/08/02 (0) Post a Followup Name: E-Mail: Subject: Message to Post : I am trying to run Redhat 7.3 on my IBM thinkpad.
