Only when the SCSI disk driver is compiled into the kernel. If
one loads sd_mod as a module it won't (at least when I looked at
it the last time).

/Christer (who has just got some new toys, a AHA1510, AHA1505,
AHA1540B, AHA1542CF and some old SCSI devices. Does
anybody want to test 2.1.x on a SMP Pentium system
with a 1542B or 1542CF, I think I heard about some
problems with that combination)
