[Centos] kernel with multi-LUN SCSI support

[Paul M. Wright]

Greg -

THANK YOU!!! The first method didn't work but the second one did.  I
just added the suggested line to modules.conf and ran mkinitrd and I can
now see both the drive and the changer in /proc/scsi/scsi.

That was just what I needed!

regards,

paul
