thanks, that was it. I rebuilt the kernel and I can see all 
the partitions now.

I never knew what "probe all LUNs" was about. The only thing 
with LUNs I've dealt with was a CD jukebox at work. At home 
in the early days, all my disks and tape drives were scsi 
and they worked without activating "Probe all LUNs", so 
eventually I forgot it even existed.

There was little about these cards under linux, when I
searched with google. This either meant that no-one was
using them under Linux, or else I was missing something
obvious. It looks like I was missing something obvious.

thanks
Joe
