First of all, many thanks to Eduard Bloch. The trouble is that SCSI support is loaded as a module, so I must pass the argument max_scsi_luns to that module instead of using lilo. Steps are:
1) edit /etc/modutils/aliases and add an entry as: options scsi_mod "max_scsi_luns=1" 2) run update-modules 3.1) reboot the system or... 3.2) ...alternatively do: rmmod ide-scsi; rmmod scsi_mod; modprobe ide-scsi Now it works fine.
