I have not found suitable answers on a search of this site but this was not exhaustive and I apologise if I have missed appropriate information.
I have a PQI "Tavelling Disk 2.0" (USB 2.0 storage device) which briefly offered me no difficulties in mounting under RedHat 8.0 via /dev/sda. My problem stems from a much corrupted Win98 implementation which somehow managed to convince the stick that it is now a USB hub with incorrect vendor and product id's and descriptions! I have been unable to find a way to reconfigure this device to have it recognised and driven as a storage device. I have tried fiddling with hotplugging to find a way to force the driver I think I need. If I knew where to do it I could possible rewrite the vendor id's etc and fool the modmap.usb into driving the currently configured id's with the usb-storage driver. Currently I don't sufficiently understand how the whole hotplugging system hangs together to be confident in doing this. Perhaps I could build a kernel without hotplugging but I'm not sure how to tie the usb-storage driver to the appropriate entry in /proc/bus/usb/001.
If anyone reading this can offer advice, experience or some dumb suggestions I haven't yet thought of I would be much obliged.
Thanks in advance for any help
cheers
James
