Bug#224745: hw-detect: Reports errors for sd_mod and sr_mod when support is compiled statically into the kernel

[Karsten Merker <karsten@excalibur.cologne.de>]

Package: hw-detect
Version: 0.58

Hw-detect reports an error when it cannot load the modules sd_mod and
sr_mod. This is also the case when these modules do not exist because
they are compiled statically into the kernel (like it is the case
for the default mips and mipsel kernels).

Hw-detect should check whether SCSI-Disk- and SCSI-CDROM is present
in the kernel before it tries to load the modules. This can be
accomplished with the following patch:
