autoloading of ppa module

[Andreas Tille <tille@physik.uni-halle.de>]

Hello,

sometime ago I reported trouble in autoloading the ppa module when
mounting an Iomega Zip drive.  This problems vanished as I reported.

Now I have a new problem in correlation with a scanner device.  There
are two cases which cause trouble:
  1) The SCSI-card (BusLogic BT-930) of the scanner is compiled in
     as module and the module is loaded *before* the Zip drive
     was mounted (i.e. the ppa module was loaded)
  2) The SCSI-card driver was compiled into the kernel with 'Y'.
In both cases I have to do `modprobe ppa` manually to mount the
Zip drive.  Is there any workaround for this case?

Kind regards

          Andreas.
