  you also need scsi, not sure what exactly, here's what I have:

CONFIG_SCSI=y
CONFIG_SCSI_PROC_FS=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=m
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR=m
CONFIG_CHR_DEV_SG=m
CONFIG_SCSI_REPORT_LUNS=y
CONFIG_SCSI_CONSTANTS=y
CONFIG_SCSI_LOGGING=y
CONFIG_SCSI_SPI_ATTRS=m
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA=y
CONFIG_SCSI_ATA_PIIX=y

  not all of that is relevant (i.e. SATA is for SATA support) but you 
need at least some of them, take a look at kernel config help to figure 
out which ones are relevant for you.
