Back in the olden days to most common mistake with custom build kernels |
10 |
was not having SCSI disk support compiled in, but now that basically |
11 |
everyone uses SATA that should not be what you're missing. Note that the |
12 |
SCSI disk driver is not the sg driver. sg works for everything attached |
13 |
to SCSI (a scanner, for example) and doesn't have the required |
14 |
functionality. What you also need is sd (which creates the accordingly |
15 |
named /dev/sd? device). |
16 |
|
17 |
If it still doesn't work if you'd post your dmesg output so we can check |
18 |
what is missing/unusual. |
