I did put it in /etc/hotplug/blacklist. I put usb-storage there. That's the point, though. I don't want to have to do that. I'd rather blacklist the Rio somehow. Like make sure it gets assigned to a specific device then blacklist that device. Or something. I'm just not sure how you go about that. usb-storage is too broad to blacklist. Includes cameras, usb memory keys, etc. Preston ----- Original Message ----- From: Ow Mun Heng To: fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx Sent: Fri, 28 May 2004 12:48:04 -0700 Subject: Re: Proper way to prevent a device (that's unrecognized) fromhotplugging?

Try putting it into /etc/hotplug/blacklist. # # Listing a module here prevents the hotplug scripts from loading it. # Usually that'd be so that some other driver will bind it instead, # no matter which driver happens to get probed first. Sometimes user # mode tools can also control driver binding. # # Syntax: driver name alone (without any spaces) on a line.
