It's good that the above oops can be reproduced, so here is some more
info on my setup:

[steven@localhost linux-2.5.39-linus]$ grep "=m" .config
CONFIG_PARPORT=m
CONFIG_PARPORT_PC=m
CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_CML1=m
CONFIG_PRINTER=m
CONFIG_AUTOFS_FS=m
CONFIG_FAT_FS=m
CONFIG_MSDOS_FS=m
CONFIG_VFAT_FS=m
CONFIG_NLS_ISO8859_1=m

[steven@localhost linux-2.5.39-linus]$ grep SCSI .config
# SCSI device support
# CONFIG_SCSI is not set
# Old non-SCSI/ATAPI CD-ROM drives
# CONFIG_CD_NO_IDESCSI is not set
[steven@localhost linux-2.5.39-linus]$ find . -name Makefile | xargs grep sr_mod
./drivers/scsi/Makefile:obj-$(CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR)        += sr_mod.o
./drivers/scsi/Makefile:sr_mod-objs     := sr.o sr_ioctl.o sr_vendor.o
[steven@localhost linux-2.5.39-linus]$ grep BLK_DEV_SR .config
[steven@localhost linux-2.5.39-linus]$

So, I'm not sure that a scsi-related module is the cause here.

Cheers,
Steven
