It really says pg eh? I was expecting a sg device missing. I'll just
forage blindly ahead assuming sg ;>. Compile in scsi generic device
access and then have MAKEDEV make your sg devices for you. Make sure
that as a user you can have write access to the device through your
group (root should still own the devices). SG is major device 21 and a
little bit of poking gives:
from MAKEDEV script:
pg)
major=`Major pg 97`
for unit in 0 1 2 3
do
makedev pg$unit c $major $unit $scsi
done
;;
I'd try the MAKEDEV pg as root in the /dev directory to see if that
solves your problem. If that doesn't work you can build the sg module
and then try to see if pg access magically appears. pg is for parralel
port atapi devices so I don't think this is the real root of your
problem.
