Description of problem: I'm having problem making RHELAS3 to "remember settings" for my configuration. In brief - no matter what I do LUN 01 wouldn't come up at boot. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): aic7xxx driver from kernel[-smp]-2.4.21-47.EL How reproducible: So far - every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. connect Quantum Superloader3 to SCSI port on machine 2. install RHELAS3u8 on machine - it will detect tape drive automaticaly 3. install mtx tool 4. try to use loaderinfo -f /dev/sg[0-x] (this will show only tape drive and not loader) 5. (in our case) use echo "scsi add-single-device 1 0 5 1" > /proc/scsi/scsi so that system can "see" loader 6. run kudzu to record this in /etc/sysconfig/hwconf 7. confirm that loader is in hwconf file 8. (optional) run /sbin/new-kernel-pkg --mkinitrd --depmod --install 2.4.21-47.ELsmp do make initrd 9. add max_scsi_luns=4 to grub "kernel" lines 10. reboot Actual results: # loaderinfo -f /dev/sg4 cannot open SCSI device '/dev/sg5' - No such device or address # cat /proc/scsi/scsi| grep -i changer ..[nothing] Expected results: # loaderinfo -f /dev/sg4 Product Type: Medium Changer # cat /proc/scsi/scsi| grep -i changer Type: Medium Changer ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Additional info: workaround: stick echo "scsi add-single-device 1 0 5 1" > /proc/scsi/scsi into /etc/rc.local but I shouldn't do this. It should be handled automatically by kernel.
