Have you rebuilt your kernel with the SCAN_ALL_LUNS option turned
on?
If not, since the default kernels are set to not scan all luns, then
devices with more than one LUN will not show anything but the base
LUN, in this case the drive. Seagate seems to be partial to having
the changer respond at LUN=1, where the drive proper is at LUN=0.
That option is, assuming you are in the "linux" source directory,
and have done a "make xconfig", then click on scsi support, then
set "probe all luns" to on, save, and re-install & reboot.
Its all down below in my previous reply :)
