If this is the RedHat system you mentioned in your post on sym53c8xx loading oddity, then you need apply the fix below which I posted to LKML on Jan 19th.
===snip=== If you're running a RedHat system, you'll also need the following patch to /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit. Without it the kernel's modprobe and hotplug functionalities will be disabled by rc.sysinit.
