I have a USB device that generates errors at boot start. 
I don't care to get the device working, but the machine won't boot unless the device is plugged in (yes, I've tried various settings for ACPI, APM, etc, etc - it is a quirk of some sort). Is there a way to tell the USB subsystem to 'ignore' a device on the bus based on id/name/etc.?

Thanks
