options scsi_mod max_luns=8
Try a line like this in your /etc/modprobe.conf. Try different numbers
like "6" too. If this seems to solve your problem, then you need to
submit information about your device ... uh... somewhere... in order to
add to a whitelist of some sort. Reply to this list, CC me and
davej at redhat.com if the above suggestion seems to help.
