Problem detecting master and slave ide drives in firewire enclosure

I have a multi-bay firewire enclosure containing 4 oxford 911
firewire-to-ide bridges (the enclosure is capable of supporting a total of 8
IDE drives). I'm running a single firewire cable from a port on the
firewire pci card to the firewire-to-ide bridge. I'm running SUSE 9.1 and
have upgraded to the 2.6.8.1 kernel.

I'm having trouble with Linux being able to detect both IDE drives (master
and slave) connected to the firewire bridge in the enclosure. I am seeing
the following behavior:
- when I have one drive plugged in as a master, it is detected just fine,
- when I have one drive plugged in as a slave, it is detected just fine
- when I plug in both master and slave drives, only the slave is detected

When I boot up my old configuration (Redhat 9.0 with 2.4.27 kernel), the
drives are recognized just fine (after running rescan-scsi-bus.sh). As I
understand the 2.6. kernel, I do not need to run rescan-scsi-bus.sh as the
scsi devices are set up automatically.

Any help would be appreciated. Below are some details of my config.
