ar the quotation marks part of the file's contents? if so - remove them.
also, remove the 'locadomain' part, it's pointless.
make sure your /etc/nsswitch.conf file has a line like this:
hosts: files dns ....
the relevant part is that 'files' should be first, and 'dns' only after
it.

you disable devices in the BIOS, not in linux. however, even if USB uses
this IRQ, it should not matter, as long as you don't load its driver.
thus, if either compile a kernel without USB support, or compile the USB
support as a module, and just don't load it as long as you don't need it.
