SCSI modules won't autoload



Hi all:

I have Deb2.1, 2.2.5 kernel with QlogicISP SCSI adapter support compiled
as modules. I use with it Panasonic CDR (the only device on the
adapter).

I was hoping that whenever I mount a CD-Rom with 
$ mount /dev/scd0 /mnt/scsi
neccessary modules would load automatically. However, mount complains
that
mount: the kernel does not recognize /dev/scd0 as a block device
       (maybe `insmod driver'?)

After I do "$ modpobe qlogicisp", everything starts working.

I only use that devices once in a while, so I want the modules to
autoload/unload as I need them. I also want that CD-ROM to be
user-mountable. I have the followint in my /etc/fstab:

/dev/hdd        /mnt/cdrom      iso9660 ro,user,noauto,unhide
/dev/scd0       /mnt/scsi       iso9660 ro,user,noauto,unhide

So when I type "$ mount /mnt/scsi" as a regular user *after* the modules 
have been manually loaded, it mounts OK. However, I have to become
root for that.

Thanks for any input,
