menuconfig: can not select scsi device support
Hi there, I am working trough a book on embeded systems (embeded linux by J.Quade) There in the chapter about building a new kernel is suggested to select Device Drivers-> SCSI device support -> a number of subslections. Now, when I start menuconfig I find Device Drivers-> SCSI device support, but selecting it produces an empty page. Why is that so? Do I have to add other elements to the configuration process? I am using linux-3.19. Thanks robert
You can find out dependencies for needed options by pressing '/' (to search) and then typing your option. 06.03.2015, 09:48, "robert rottermann" <robert@redcor.ch>:

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
