I have this file,

-rw-r--r--    1 500      500         12779 Jun 16 01:18 ./drivers/scsi/sata_sil.c

but I don't see a switch for it in the config, also I'm not sure where
the most recent patch for it is.

Thanks, I discovered and was building that after I discovered the
"development and/or incomplete code/drivers" option is also required.

My system would not boot without SIIMAGE too, is that expected?
Should there be a dependency in menuconfig?

Sad news, at about 800 Mb, pdflush stopped completing and the device
was blocked.

Oooh, guess I needed to mount as a scsi dev now? but I don't see any
scsi devices available... must I first not mount the hdc partitions?
