Based on this: scsi: Device offlined - not ready after error recovery: host 2 channel 0 id 0 lun 0 and a similar bug I've seen for RHEL bug #175188 I'd wager it's this fix: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=e47373ec1c9aab9ee134f4e2b8249957e9f4c7ef A few things - you're not on the latest FC 4 update kernel 2.6.14-1.1653_FC4 which looks as if it has this fix in already, you can try yum update kernel to get the latest update. If the latest update does not resolve - can you try attaching the device/powering on the device after doing: echo 12295 > /sys/module/scsi_mod/scsi_logging_level and attach the resulting log.
