Congrats! I'll be really interested to read your account of your 
experiences. EMC's support for Linux still seems kind of primitive and 
weak, but I did manage to solve my problem. Curiously, it seems that 
reverting to the original QLogix QLA2300 drivers in the stock RHEL 3.0 
kernel worked just fine, while attempting to use the Emulex/QLogix drivers 
supplied by EMC caused only half of my LUNS to be visible. Another blow for 
open source technologies, I suppose...depending on who supplied the stock 
drivers, of course.
