Memory Stick Problems, can't detect module sg?

GT_Onizuka · 02-03-2004, 07:33 PM

I've been trying to get my Memory Stick to work (I have a Sony Desktop Computer) and I've been running into some trouble. I read that I need to have both generic scsi and usb-storage loaded for it to work. modprobe usb-storage worked perfectly, however I can't get the scsi module to load. At first I didn't know what it was but I searched on Google for awhile and found that modprobe sg loads the scsi module. I tried that but I get

Code:

root@onizuka:ynadji$ modprobe sg
modprobe: Can't locate module sg

However, when I do locate for sg

Code:

root@onizuka:ynadji$ locate sg
/usr/include/scsi/sg.h

Doesn't that mean I have the module? Or am I loading the wrong module, etc. I'm running the bareacpi kernel off of Slackware 9.1. I heard it wasn't too much of a problem, and I got my USB working (had a conflict with ACPI, but that's all behind me now) so I'm pretty sure there aren't any conflicts with ACPI itself. Any ideas?

Generic scsi is built in to slackware kernels (as opposed to built as a module).

once you connect your device and run "dmesg" you should a heap of usb related scsi messages, already having loaded the relevant bits. even usb_storage *should* be loaded automatically for you.

and the module would be called sg.o (unless it's gzipped) anyway.
that sg.h is just a header file for defining function calls.
