I remember this happen in the old 2.2.x kernel days on my Open Linux 2.4 
machine, when my CD ROM drive and my burner each showed up eight times.
The remedy was a kernel recompile: Setting
	"Probe all LUNS on each  SCSI device"
	(ie CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN)
in the SCSI support section to "no" (in the stock Caldera kernel config 
this option was set to "yes").
So take a look at your kernel's settings.
