I tried googling and searching the forums but I can seem to find an answer.

When I enter "cat /proc/scsi/scsi" I'm returned with "cat: /proc/scsi/scsi: No such file or directory"

I've tried this on two different installs on two different machines.

Any help would be appreciated.

Well I would say it means you do not have any recognized scsi devices....what exactly are you trying to do?

If you just need general information "No such file or directory" means the file you are trying to either execute with a command or use in a command does not exist.

Please post with more information on what exaclty you are trying to achieve.

I'm looking for the 'Host: scsiX' and the 'id: XX' in particular. I'm building a duper station using a specific software created by TiVo. What i'm trying to configure in particular is a .rules files in "/etc/udev/rules.d"

The acutal .rules files looks like this

KERNEL=="sd[a-z]", BUS=="scsi", ID=="5:0:0:0", SYMLINK="satamaster"
KERNEL=="sd[a-z]", BUS=="scsi", ID=="4:0:1:0", SYMLINK="satatarget0"
KERNEL=="sd[a-z]", BUS=="scsi", ID=="0:0:0:0", SYMLINK="satatarget1"
KERNEL=="sd[a-z]", BUS=="scsi", ID=="1:0:0:0", SYMLINK="satatarget2"
KERNEL=="sd[a-z]", BUS=="scsi", ID=="3:0:0:0", SYMLINK="satatarget3"
KERNEL=="sd[a-z]", BUS=="scsi", ID=="5:0:1:0", SYMLINK="satatarget4"
KERNEL=="sd[a-z]", BUS=="scsi", ID=="6:0:0:0", SYMLINK="satatarget5"
KERNEL=="sd[a-z]", BUS=="scsi", ID=="7:0:0:0", SYMLINK="satatarget6"

' /proc/ ' contains virtual files.
If you have no scsi or SATA, then no /proc/scsi/
or /proc/scsi/scsi

The command : cat /proc/s<TAB>
.. will show if anything at all "s....."
..

I have 9 SATA drives hooked up and it doesnt show anything. Shows up fine in Ubuntu 10 and Fedora 12 but TiVo requires the use of Debian (i have no idea why)

Sorry for the double post.

When I looked in the kernal config file I found this:

# SCSI device support
#
CONFIG_RAID_ATTRS=m
CONFIG_SCSI=m
CONFIG_SCSI_DMA=y
CONFIG_SCSI_TGT=m
CONFIG_SCSI_NETLINK=y
# CONFIG_SCSI_PROC_FS is not set


would "# CONFIG_SCSI_PROC_FS is not set" have anything to do with my issue? If so how to enable this feature.
