Hi everyone !
 
I am really really hoping someone can help with the following,
I am new to linux but learning fast, but I have been on the following for weeks
without success.
 
I have a 4bay firewire enclosure. It has 2 oxford 411 bridge cards inside each
bridge has a master and slave ide hard drive attached to it.
 
In windows all is well - all 4 are recognised.
 
BUT - I have tried redhat 9 (2.4.), mandrake 10.1, knoppix even linspire
but I cannot get linux to see all 4 drives. Instead it only sees
1 drive from each bridge board. I cannot get it to see the second drive
on each board. I have tried rescaning the scsi bus with the script, and
when I do that it see the same drive 7 times and assigns each to a device
eg sda1,sdb1,sdc1 etc
 
Can I get this to work ? has anyone succeeded ? this a driver I need to download
I have tried so many forums but not seen anyone trying a 2 or 4 bay enclosure.
