I have a dual boot RedHat 6.1 box here which fails to recognise an LPS-120
drive. Works fine under Windows, though. I'm pretty sure this worked on
the same machine under RedHat 5.2 (the drive was replaced since, but I
don't see what else could have changed).
Wheneer I'm trying to access /dev/hdd (major 22 minor 64), I get
Can't open /dev/hdd: Device not configured
This is some dmesg output:

Very suspicious. Before cut 'n waste, this was a y with two dots, ie.
some unprintable character.

Any ideas?
