I have a Disk On Key 128MB on Linux 2.4.18-3, Red Hat 7.3 ,works fine
when plugged for the first time. After unplugging it and replugging it
it is impossible to mount it again. The commands mount /dev/sda1
/mnt/diskonkey or fdisk -l /dev/sda hang and I cannot even reboot (I
have to switch off the machine)

Each time it is replugged it is attached to a new device. From
/var/log/messages: 
Feb 15 00:49:37 m kernel: usb.c: USB disconnect on device 2
Feb 15 01:00:11 m kernel: hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/1, assigned device 
number 3
[root@m usb]# ls -l /proc/bus/usb/001/
total 1
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root           18 Feb 15 01:01 001
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root           18 Feb 15 01:01 003

why is a new device assigned? Isn;t this strange? How can it be
avoided and which /dev is the key attached each time?
