Wow, 7 slots again. Do you delete a last line? :) Just kidding.

Please, hard reset your changer (off/on), check all connections, check all
firmware options which could disable one slot - cleaning slot, etc. Then
check library status with mtx again. It should work. If not, check you HBA
firmware and OS driver.
