I'm not sure what this is but it keeps setting it as a module. I
tried removing it by setting it to " is not set" but it puts it
back to module when I compile the kernel.
I'm not convinced that all the other posters are fully grokking your
problem (some of them may be; heck, I could be wrong, and they all
may be).
I suspect that this is caused because CONFIG_SCSI_WAIT_SCAN depends
upon some other kernel option, and because you have that compiled in
as a module. Thus the dependencies of the "parent" are forced to be
modular.
I wouldn't disable CONFIG_MODULES, because as I understand it that
prevents you having any modules at all, and builds a completely
monolithic kernel. I used to be of the monolithic school of kernel
building, but feel that I have seen the error of my ways and that
modules are generally a Good Thing (tm).
I would compile-into-the-kernel (what's the right word for "compile a
driver not-as-a-module"? compile statically?) all SCSI options, and
see if that fixes. If so you can subsequently modularise bit by bit
until you understand what's going on.
(PS: you say you don't know what it is - why do you care if it's
modular or not?)
