hid = human interface device (i think), and is an explicit kernel config
option.  sg is part of the long list of scsi config options, snd seems
like some funky sound related module.

you've got a typo there, as you're catting 'cat'.

Do a 'modprobe hid' and see what happens.  I don't see why you'd need the
snd module.  modprobing sg can't hurt either.
