lp8000 and 2.6.18-rc6

Hello,

I have a problem with the Emulex LP8000 lpfc driver:
- the kernel module loads fine and reports 4 luns from the storage
(Clariion 4700), also listed in /proc/scsi/scsi, but
- there is no way to have a SCSI device attached (sdb, sdc, ...), even
runing rescan-scsi-bus. The disks are not listed with fdisk -l.

It's the first time I use this setup... Am I missing something?

Thank you for any help.

Alberto
