I'm trying to understand the situation... the way I found to have the options recognized during a session is by creating a "/etc/modprobe.d/usbcore" file with the single line "options scsi_mod max_luns=8". I find it surprising that putting the same content into the file "/etc/modprobe.d/scsi_mod" does not have any effect.
Apart from this perplexity, I have no idea how to pass module options at boot time (with kernel 2.6.x). part of the problem is that I can't understand how scsi_mod gets loaded. in order to have a more complete picture, I did the following: I moved /sbin/modprobe and /sbin/insmod to /sbin/modprobe.orig and /sbin/insmod.orig, respectively. then I made two scripts /sbin/modprobe and /sbin/insmod that invoke the original file but which also do some logging. As I see no trace of scsi_mod in the logfile filled in by my scripts, I would say that the module scsi_mod gets loaded by some other way, both at boot time and during a session. any comments? highly appreciated! or suggestions on an other forum where I could place this question...
