So in my case when I attach a second pre-built SCSI RAID box to the second SCSI port and then it goes through all the drive detection and SCSI setup, it should reach a point where udev, hotplug, and kudzu have all performed the required tasks of setting up the necessary support for the second RAID box. My second RAID box should be attached and accessible... So far it doesn't work!!
