Well, this means that the ADVANSYS support is not built at all (if it |
| 17 |
was set to be built as a loadable module, it would say =m, and if it was |
| 18 |
statically built into the kernel, it would say =y). |

The Depends on section tells you what is required for the option to appear. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
In the Device Drivers section, under SCSI device support, SCSI device |
| 33 |
support must be set to yes, and then SCSI low-level drivers must be |
| 34 |
enabled/selected for this and other sub-options to appear. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
So I would suggest heading back to menuconfig and enabling what needs to |
| 37 |
be enabled, and then the option itself when it appears, naturally. |
