That would be an exercise in writing a proper udev rule. Example on
request.

Hmm... a bit outdated, that system :-) Can you suggest an upgrade to a
more recent version? The one you have is a CentOS 4.x, I believe the
most recent CentOS 4 has 2.6.9-89 or newer. You might also benefit
from some security related fixes.

Good luck!
