My guess is you're missing BLOCK. If BLOCK is not set see you'll see
SCSI device support ----
in the Device Drivers page of "make menuconfig". And if BLOCK is set
you'll see
SCSI device support --->
(Yes, the difference is rather subtle.) Then you should see a non-empty
page if you select that:
[ ] RAID Transport Class (NEW)
[ ] SCSI device support (NEW)
(And, yes, there are two entries labeled "SCSI device support".) You can
(probably) set BLOCK in the main menu under
[ ] Enable the block layer ----
Hope this helps,
Paul Bolle
