Because some broken SCSI devices choke on that, and you don't really need it.

Not sure, but on command line you might need to specify for what
module the option is (also, it is loadable module, not part of static
kernel). Try passing "scsi_mod.max_luns=32" to the kernel.
Have you tried putting it into /etc/modprobe.conf (options scsi_mod
max_luns=32) and rebuilding initrd image after that? That's the way I
was doing it so far, and it always worked for me.
Also, since it is really USB device, could it be it doesn't have LUNs at all?
