Well, I don't see the problem with this.

If sg-support isn't compiled into the kernel, but compiled as a module,
that module has to be loaded to be able to access the devices it supports.

Do I misunderstand something here?

Somehow I had the impression that udev would work with modprobe--my Debian system seemed tol load the sg modules without the modprobe after my udev modification! It could have been a hallucination. Yes, you failed to understand that I was hallucinating (why not blame the victim). I didn't check if SCSI generic devices were part of the kernel--I didn't think they were. I'll check again.
