Ulp! Mine just appeared, possibly because I already have a SCSI device in the
system. For reference, these are all the items from an /sbin/lsmod listing
which could be relevant for USB to SCSI emulation:
Module Size Used by Tainted: P
usb-storage 52236 1
usb-uhci 21668 0 (unused)
usbcore 59072 1 [usb-storage usb-uhci]
ide-scsi 8032 0
aic7xxx 114676 0
sd_mod 11512 4
scsi_mod 93244 6 [usb-storage sg sr_mod ide-scsi aic7xxx sd_mod]
You can ignore the aic7xxx if you don't have any SCSI cards but you should have
ide-scsi and scsi_mod loaded I think.
