removed SCSI from kernel. ide-scsi gone.

Err, i've just said no to all SCSI support on my laptop (2.4.28), thinking that i don't need it since it doesn't have any scsi devices on it..

However, now when i reboot, i get an error 'can't load module ide-scsi'. not found..

and when i try mounting /mnt/cdrom, or /dev/sr1 (dvd writer through usb2), it says
mount: /dev/cdrom is not a valid block device

Anyone knows specifically what i need to reenable in SCSI support in the kernel? (as Y or M?)

Thanks.

i think you should enable scsi-emulation in your kernel-config
( ata/atapi..etc support--->scsi emulation )

Sneeky... When i disabled SCSI, it also disabled and greyed that!. I'll enable SCSI (but nothing in there), set SCSI emulation to (Y), recompile, and see if it works.

Cheers.

Still doesn't work. I've enabled the following:
SCSI Support (Y)
SCSI generic support (Y)
SCSI emulation support (Y)

but i still get modprobe failed: can't locate module ide-scsi at bootup =/

================
EDIT:
================
I think i also need to enable SCSI CD-ROM support. Will try that now.

with such errors, i always use the rule : " if unsure say modular "
you can check later if things work what you really need ( lsmod....)

Success!
For anyone else who gets the same problem, just enable the following

ATA/IDE/MFM/RLL support
Block Devices:
SCSI Emulation support (M)

SCSI Support:
SCSI support (y)
SCSI CD-ROM support (y)
Enable vendor-specific extensions (for SCSI CDROM) (n)
SCSI Generec support (y)

And recompile.
