Today i installed a new USB 2.0 PCI card. My kernel is 2.16.4 from 
kernel.org. The problem is that i can't see any /dev/sdx devices so i can
mount them. I have enabled scsi emulation in the kernel. As i can see 
the PCI card is recognized by the kernel and  even  the USB device is 
recognized.
When i boot with the ubuntu kernel it works fine. Here are my outputs:

The NEC chip is my new PCI card

root at production:~# cat /proc/modules | grep usb

after i unplug and plug back the external disk

root at production:~# dmesg |tail
usb 5-5: USB disconnect, address 3

  Type:   Direct-Access                      ANSI SCSI revision: 00
usb-storage: device scan complete


The external device is an ICY BOX case where i installed one Western 
Digital IDE hard disk.

What can i do to get /dev/sd handles?
