The only thing that /tmp/scsidisks is used for is to determine if a
scsi disk is a removable device (read: usb-storage).

It gets the all of the drives in the drive list from kudzu last I
checked (it's been a while since I've been in that code).

You can force the drivers to be loaded in an order you desire by using
the "driverload=" kernel command line argument.  Give it a : delimited
set of modules to load:

linux driverload=sd_mod:mptbase:mptscsih

or whatever.

HTH.
