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.
