funny you should mention this....
Im seeing something similar regarding my usb scanner.
The scsi device listing is not being created for my scanner in 541 kernel
until i modprobe sg.

I revert back to kernel 535.. and it works. Actually...afaict all my
hardware works now
on 535. All my usb devices, this is a milestone event.  This is the
first time everything connected to this crate has actually been
working... even the gnome volume manager automounting is working for
all my usb storage devices.

booting into 541 and i see a range of rather funky behavior with the
usb-storage devices... the scanner issue seems the most striaght
forward in that i can modprobe sg and get functionality back.
