You need to use linux-3.16.6-patched.txz and config-3.16.6-tinycore64 from 6.x/x86/release/src/kernel

You don't need to compile a new kernel - just remaster the module from scsi-3.16.6-tinycore64.tcz into your initrd.

Unpack the scsi extension, copy the virtio module into place, update depmod files. The wiki has more detail on this.

OK great this worked thanks.  I can now see the hard disk on Google Compute Engine.

Currently however it only recognises the disk is I manually load the virtio_scsi module with insmod.  It doesn't seem to automatically get loaded.

What is the correct way to ensure the module is loaded at boot time?

If you updated the depmod files, it would get loaded if a device matching it was present.

Otherwise, load it in bootsync.sh.
