My question is, do I still need to compile in scsi disk/cdrom/generic

other syntax i'm missing? Libata detects my drives, but as far as I
could see, and it flies by too fast to read, no device nodes were
assigned to them.
Yes, you do need to select SCSI high level drivers you need - sd and sr
should suffice for libata.
If you do need scsi support, why isn't that done automatically when you
select your libata drivers? or at least a pointer in the "Help" dialog
to tell you to enable that ?
Probably because no other SCSI low level driver selects high level
driver automatically. I agree that we need better help message. Feel
free to submit patch.
Thanks.
