Sure. Write the udev rule for it, or grab it from an FC4 system (or from the
FC4 udev package).
Or, if you have some devices that you use frequently, write some custom udev
rules. For example, I have this rule for my one main USB Keychain drive (I
really need to get a newer, bigger one):
# 64MB HP DriveKey
BUS="usb", KERNEL="sd*", SYSFS{product}="Drive Key",
SYSFS{serial}="0212330F15006816", NAME="key%n"
And these two are for a digital video camera I have that records on 3 inch DVD
R/RW/RAM discs (video and still photos) or on an SD card (still photos only):
BUS="usb", KERNEL="sr*", SYSFS{product}="DVD DIGICAM VDR-M50 Series",
NAME="vcamera"
BUS="usb", KERNEL="sd?1", SYSFS{product}="DVD DIGICAM VDR-M50 Series",
NAME="camera"
All of those rules (and a couple of others) are in
the /etc/udev/rules.d/10-corsair.rules file (corsair is this notebook's
name).
For a starter on writing UDEV rules, take a look at Daniel Drake's guide at
[ http://www.reactivated.net/udevrules.php ].
