Hi there,

= I rejoin the list after 5-6 years. Was able to fix most of the things mysel= f but this one has me totally bowled over.

I have an IDE disk enclosure (can house 2 disks per IDE channel, a tota= l of 4 currently plugged in) which makes IDE disks available to the main co= mputer via 2x USB 2.0 connection (One USB 2.0 port connected to IDE adapter= ).
The problem I have is that the computer is able to see only 1 IDE disk per = channel. At a time, as a result, my server can only see 2 disks instead of = 4 connected, one disk per channel only.

I have tried all possible co= mbinations of jumpers (master/slave, cable-select, force-slave-present) for= each pair.

Interestingly - Windows XP / YetAnotherReiserFS GUI is able to see/read= all 4 (2 pairs) disks so I think it is something that needs fixing in Linu= x kernel/drivers and the enclosure box is not the source of problem.
I confirm individual disks are fine as well.
I am currently running Linu= x 2.6.27-gentoo-r8.

Has anyone else encountered this problem before = ? /proc/config.gz is also attached.

Thanks in advance,
Rohit
