Can't open SCSI driver!

Note that I am using the linux-image kernel, not a kernel compiled from
a linux-source kernel package.  Apparently the linux-image kernel is not
compiled with scsi emulation.

/dev/hdc  I can mount it as /media/cdrom0 and read data files from a cd

The output of less /proc/ide/hdc/driver is ide-cdrom version 4.61

The output of lsmod includes ide_cd and cdrom which uses ide_cd.

insmod sg finds no such module.
