nope. also tried to remove the two symbolic links and run modules-update, the problem is now that I acquired a Philips JackRabbit dvd/cdrw device, which is also a usb-storage unit. and unloading the modules is not any more an option. if I do so, the system hangs totally. and I can't blame it. no, I really would like to have /dev/sdb recognized at boot time. I've also tried writing in /etc/modules scsi_mod max_lun=2 but it did not help. the module gets loaded 'manually', but the option is not used. man modules does not say much. the file /usr/linux/Documentation/modules.txt is not present on my system. thanks for any help.
