Yes.

No, you must identify your SCSI driver.

Several docs are available ...

I don't know which kernel you are using but if it is anything
after 2.0 then you can go to:
http://www.torque.net/sg
and follow the utility and test programs links, get the tarball
and build sg_scan and run it. This will tell you if sg is
present and can detect your devices. If that works, try "sg_scan -i"
to get an INQUIRY on every device. There is documentation at
that site about sg as well. It shouldn't make any difference
whether sg is built into the kernel or is a module.

Please reply to me if you have problems compiling or running
sg_scan.
