block-major-8


Dear members.
I am trying to install the RCA Lyra on my Linux Box through USB

The main problem I'm having is that when I boot my machine I see the following:

can't locate module block-major-8

From what I've read that has something to do with the SCSI drivers.

I recompiled the kernel so that SCSI will be included in the kernel (instead of a module) and that message is appearing again

When I connect my device, I see the following info in /var/logs/messages:
May 27 23:03:10 localhost kernel: hub.c: new USB device 00:07.2-2, assigned address 6
May 27 23:03:10 localhost kernel: Manufacturer: Thomson
May 27 23:03:10 localhost kernel: Product: RD1021 71 75
May 27 23:03:10 localhost kernel: SerialNumber: 0000A1030193440A

However, when I excecute sg_scan -i and sg_map (program to see were are the SCSI drivers located in /dev/***) I see the following:

sg_scan -i

/dev/sg0: scsi0 channel=0 id=0 lun=0
MEMOREX CD-RW 8220S 1.10 [rmb=1 cmdq=0 pqual=0 pdev=0x5]
/dev/sg1: scsi1 channel=0 id=0 lun=0 [em]
Thomson RD1021 71 75 0100 [rmb=1 cmdq=0 pqual=0 pdev=0x

sg_map

/dev/sg0 /dev/scd0
/dev/sg1

Problems that occur with the sg_*** commands:
May 27 23:03:23 localhost modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module block-major-8
May 27 23:03:23 localhost last message repeated 4 times
May 27 23:03:23 localhost modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-9
May 27 23:03:23 localhost last message repeated 4 times
May 27 23:03:23 localhost modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-

Regards

Xavier
