I am using GRUB, but have never tweaked the conf file.  Is it the same a
lilo?  Here is what I tried and it didn't seem to have an effect.  I am
using another SCSI library and it works along with the RAID controller and 3
SCSI disks...

title Red Hat with Additional LUN support
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.9-e.3 ro root=/dev/sda6
        initrd /initrd-2.4.9-e.3.img
        append "max_scsi_luns=8"

Is this correct for GRUB?  

Here is what the SCSI devices look like right now.  The changer is
associated with the DLT2700.

Sorry for all of this "off-topic" stuff, but the goal is to get amanda
working and I thought that people who do use amanda would know the most
about getting the devices to work...

It works on my Red Hat system with kernel RPM 2.4.18-27.7.x.  I have an 
IBM 3600 Tape Library and an IBM ESS "Shark" connected to the server.  I 
have recompiled the kernel to improve ReiserFS support, but I didn't 
change the default Red Hat config file.  I don't see "SCAN_ALL_LUNS" 
there.  I don't have 2.4.20-13.7 in production yet so I don't know for a 
fact that it works there.  Also, I have SCSI support compiled as a 
module; I use an initial ramdisk to get it loaded into the kernel for 
booting.  If you have SCSI support compiled into the kernel, then I 
believe you need to put 'append "max_scsi_luns=8"' into /etc/lilo.conf.
