I have just been back-porting (well, back-grafting) the ide-floppy
driver indrouduced in 2.0.31 into my 2.0.25 code base. Since it was
mixed in with the ide-scsi emulation code, I took that as well.

I noticed that CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDESCSI actually requires CONFIG_SCSI
to be "y" and not "m" or else the kernel compile won't go into the
drivers/scsi directory to build scsi.a, still less link it into
vmlinux.

Is there any way toeither
a) get IDESCSI to build as a module
b) get IDESCSI to build with minimal scsi.o support (it looked like it
only needed three or four things from scsi.o)
c) get IDESCSI to turn on the right other build flags automatically.

c) will do. I just missed it in the 2.0.31 patch. I scanned it pretty
thoroughly. It should have been a bit of scripting in one of the
Configure.in's.

PS - what I did was alter the top Makefile to link in scsi.a if IDESCSI
is set but CONFIG_SCSI is not, and altered the drivers Makefile to go
into scsi if IDESCSI is set. etc. etc.
