you need to tell your kernel to scan beyond the first 128 LUNs (this,
assuming that all your devices come from the same SCSI controller. if not
- you'll need to be more specific about your problem).

by the way, i saw a bug in some version of sg3-utils, which made it unable
to see devices beyond the first 128 (it did not check the 8 higher SCSI
device majors).

if these two things are not the problem - you'll need to tell us what kind
of setup you have there (which SCSI devices, how they are configured, what
linux kernel, which SCSI HBA, etc.).
