uname -r says 2.6.5-1.358

It seems to me that sg and sr_mod (not sr) modules are already loaded.
Excerpt from lsmod
------------------
	MODULE                  SIZE  USED BY
	sg                     27552  0 
	sr_mod                 13348  0 
	scsi_mod               91344  4 sg,sr_mod,aic7xxx,sd_mod

Excerpt from cdrecord -scanbus dev=help
---------------------------------------
	Transport name:         sg
	Transport descr.:       Generic transport independent SCSI
	Transp. layer ind.:

cdrecord -scanbus dev=sg  (same results if dev=sr or dev=sr_mod)
