can't see volumes from a NexStor 4700s (Raid array)

[Mario Positano]

I'm having some trouble seeing the volumes of my disk array  (NexStor 
4700s) on any of my debian (Sarge, 2.6.8 kernel) machines.  Does anyone 
have this working?  It's plugged into an Adaptec aha-2940u2b (using the 
aic7xxx module).   I've also tried the aic7xxx_old modules but I get the 
same result. 

I've had the vender check my setting (on the array) and they seem to 
think it's fine.   Actually,  it does work on a windoze machine ..... 
but who want to use that.  :)

The interesting thing is that the aic7xxx module does see the NexStor 
device but not the volumes.

Here's what I get:

NOTES: 
       - I did update my initrd image after I added these items to the 
modprobe.conf (and modules.conf).
      -  the disk volumes are mapped to lun 000,001,002  (I've tried 
003,004,005 as well)

If anyone has any hints for me,  I'd really appreciate them!!!!!  Thanks!
Mario
