The kernel tells you what's wrong. Try "cat /proc/devices" and see whether
you have "8 sd" listed under "Block devices". If not, you need to either
"modprobe sd" (depending on whether you have these modules in the correct
path) or reconfigure/compile your kernel to include the SCSI device driver
code.

Yeah that's annoying. Whoever is the MAKEDEV maintainer: this should be
fixed.
