[gentoo-user] Advansys SCSI Support in 2.6.13-r5 Kernel?

[Drew Tomlinson]

I am trying to upgrade from a 2.6.11 genkernel to 2.6.13-r5 genkernel.  
However when booting, I get a message about root not being a valid root 
device and then a prompt to enter the correct one.

I'm a noob at this so don't assume I've done the obvious.  :) 

I've searched Google and it appears likely that my problem is that 
Advansys SCSI support is either not built into my kernel or is built as 
a module?  In any event, I ran genkernel with the --menuconfig option to 
check it out.  But I could not find Advansys support in the SCSI Low 
Level Drivers section.  Searching on 'advansys' revealed this:

Symbol: SCSI_ADVANSYS [=n]
   Prompt: AdvanSys SCSI support                                      
     Defined at drivers/scsi/Kconfig:401                                  
     Depends on: (ISA || EISA || PCI) && SCSI && BROKEN
     Location:                                                           
       -> Device Drivers                                             
         -> SCSI device support                                          
           -> SCSI device support (SCSI [=y]) 
             -> SCSI low-level drivers

So why does this not show up in menuconfig and is there some way to turn 
this on?

Thanks,


Drew
