Hi Ryan-
        I don't have a scsi cd changer, but I know that there is an option for
enabling lug (for multiple scsi addresses like cd-changers) or something like
that, in the linux config. Did you enable this the last time you compiled the
kernel? You may have to re-compile with this option enabled. Hope this helps. LP
