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,

You can find out dependencies for needed options by pressing '/' (to search) 
and then typing your option.

menuconfig: can not select scsi device support

2015-03-05 Thread robert rottermann
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
