As Andreas already posted, this may be due to a flaw in newer 2.6
kernels and may perhaps work with drivers from circa 2.6.2. But it
should work at least with kernel 2.4, except if you happen to run a
really old kernel 2.4. There are two ways how multi-unit devices
announce their logical units to the host computer; newer 2.6 kernels
are only dealing with one of the two ways while 2.4 kernels understand
both, I do not remember though since exactly which version kernel 2.4
has been able to access both types of multi-unit devices.
