Are you using a pre-built debian kernel or a custom one? According to
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-i386/3.0.23-2002-05-21/bf2.4/kernel-config;
the bf24 stock kernel has the relevant SCSI modules built-in. This may
be the case for
all the debian stock kernels.

Me too - or similar such things. Someone said in another thread that
`udev' works
towards these goals, but I haven't investigated it.
