Has anyone tried running apcupsd on CentOS with a usb UPS? Just curious since I'm putting together a system like this and I noticed in the apcupsd docs it say: "Linux 2.4 series kernels older than 2.4.22 do not bind the USB device to the proper driver. This is evidenced by /proc/bus/usb/devices listing the UPS correctly but it will have "driver=(none)" instead of "driver=(hid)". This affects RHEL3, among others." I noticed the latest kernel is 2.4.21.xxx for CentOS and just wondered if this was going to cause me problems. Thanks in advance.
