Could you explain that a wee bit better. I'm generally not that good at that kind of stuff (hence why I asked if you could pop it on as default) But if you tell me what to do I'd be more than happy to try.


I will,
the build option to enable multiple scsi lun only changes the default
value of max_scsi_luns in the linux scsi driver (i.e. sets it to 255).

if scsi driver is modular as is default in mandrake linux the value of
max_scsi_luns can be set without rebuilding the kernel by adding to
/etc/modules.conf:

options scsi_mod max_scsi_luns=...

(where ... is a saner value than 255)
and eventually rebuilding initrd if you boot from scsi

if you have a customized kernel with scsi support hardcoded you can
change the behaviour by appending "max_scsi_luns=..." on the grub or
lilo command line.
