If it is not show changer, Do following steps

Check the version of Redhat Linux

If it is Redhat Linux 3

Add following line in /etc/modules.conf

“options scsi_mod scsi_noreportlun=1”

If it is Redhat Linux 4

Add following line in /etc/modprobe.conf

“options scsi_mod scsi_noreportlun=1”

Then create new initrd file…..

[root@localhost ~]#cd /boot

Rename initrd file

[root@localhost ~]# mv initrd-`uname –r`.img initrd-`uname-r`.main

e.g. mv initrd-2.6.9-42.EL.img initrd-2.6.9-42.EL.main

[root@localhost ~]# mkinitrd initrd-`uname –r`.img `uname –r`

e.g. mkinitrd initrd-2.6.9-42.EL.img 2.6.9-42.EL

At the end REBOOT your Linux box.
