I take it you've switched to 2.6 kernel and you want to use udev.

First things first... why do you need scsi??? haven't you heard you can burn 
cd's now direct via IDE???

Second the /udev dir I don't know what is used for... all my devices are 
under /dev so yours should be there as well.

If you have time come to irc and we can discuss this further.
