Sorry you haven't gotten any help! I am not a scsi expert either but
what little I know I will share. At one time there was some trouble
supporting the Adaptec conroller (2940 maybe?). But I don't think this
is a Linux problem, scsi systems can be set up either to automagically
assign drive numbers or to manually (usually with jumpers) choose the
drive numbers. Look into this, you may have to manually do it.
