On FC4, I use a script /etc/sysconfig/modules/scanner.modules that contains:

#!/bin/bash

# load the sg module, required for the scanner

# Source function library.
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions

action "Loading scsi-generic module for scanner" \
	modprobe --first-time --syslog sg 2>/dev/null


This won't work on FC < 4. The script has to live in directory 
/etc/sysconfig/modules, have a name ending in .modules, and be executable.
