Can't agree more :-)

In my case, it was Nakamichi 7 drive CD changer device which was
hooked to Tekram DC390 card. When the tmscsi.o module was inserted
only the first few CD drives were recognized. I thought it was very
strange and couldn't solve it on my own, so I had to
contact the current maintainer
of tmscsi drive code, Kurt Garloff.
Later on, he passed on me tips which
picked up from the early discussion in some
mailinglists and they solved the puzzle for me.
But it was a very difficult puzzle to solve.
I had no clue about the cause of the problem at all.

There are many user-friendly issues to be solved yet for linux.

Regarding the warning message to be printed, I have no idea
where that should go: in the driver itself or 
the common mid-level scsi code?
