Following are from my modules.conf.

First, make sure there is a path pointing to the directory where the
actual modules are found (maybe not necessary), such as

path[scsi]=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/scsi

The following let me use /dev/scd0 to access the CD for reading, and sg
(I guess) for writing from cdrecord:

alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi
alias scd0 sr_mod # load sr_mod upon access of scd0
pre-install sg modprobe ide-scsi # load ide-scsi before sg
pre-install sr_mod modprobe ide-scsi
pre-install ide-scsi modprobe scsi_mod

You'll probably need to rerun depmod after changing modules.conf.
Of course, unless your distro runs a cron job to unload unused modules,
once they've been loaded they stay loaded.

HTH,

Ken
