    first:
    you can't have your root-filesystem on a modular-device unless you
    use a custom-build initrd - how should the kernel be able to load a module
    if it needs this module to access the disk on which it resides?

    so build your scsi-subsystem into your kernel, and not as modules...

    you need at least (if your root-partition is not on the scsi-disk):
    alias block-major-8 sd_mod

    please excuse my bad english...
