Subject: Kernel 2.4.3-pre3 not recognizing some SCSI CD drives

I was running 2.2.18 and everything was working fine. I upgraded to
2.4.3-pre3 and for some unknown reason the kernel will not recognize
one particular CD drive on my SCSI chain. I doubt it's hardware
related because switching to the old kernel resolves the problem.
Furthermore, the other SCSI devices on the chain are recognized by
2.4.3 indicating that the controller is properly compiled and can be
accessed. Dmesg in 2.2.18 shows all three scsi devices, dmesg in 2.4.3
shows all except a Mitsumi CD writer.
Is there a known problem ?
Is it just me ?

It might help to know what controller you are using.

I am using the Adaptec 29160 controller.
