Didn't have to - already had that in my modprobe.conf. My issue is that 
the partition scan fails even for a single LUN device.

(shudder) yep, had first hand experience with that in the past. I 
completely agree with the safe approach.

Here is the one I am currently battling with - a multi-LUN thingy:

Tomorrow will send you a few esoteric devices from office, including a 
Sony Clie that used to work just fine with usbstorage before (but not 
on FC2/linux 2.6.5), a couple of cameras and every card reader I can lay
my hands on. :)
