Description of problem:
Hi, USB Multi-card readers are quite popular and RH doesn't have multi-lun
support by default so it doesn't see all the slots

Whilst I have seen other bugzilla reports which mention the workaround by Arjan
of adding

options scsi_mod max_scsi_luns=255

to /etc/modules.conf and then recreating initrd. I am confused about a few things

a) Would I have to recreate the initrd when I upgrade to an errata kernel
b) Under what conditions does editing /etc/modules.conf require recreation of initrd

My /proc/scsi/sci output is as follows. Hope these devices can be whitelisted

[yusufg@yghome yusufg]$ cat /proc/scsi/scsi

Fixed in FC2, won't be fixed for RHL9 due to end of life.
