The redhat kernels don't probe all the luns by default.  Try this:

echo "scsi add-single-device 2 0 2 1" > /proc/scsi/scsi

This command tells the scsi subsystem to add a single device in controller
2, target 0, bus 2, lun 1.  Change the numbers to suit your needs, and
repeat for all your devices.

Hope this helps.
