Yamaha 4416SX! Re: Advansys 3940UA Ultra-SCSI controller recommended?

I see on the manufacturer's web page:

  http://www.connectcom.net/support/software/os/linux.htm

     Yamaha CD-RW drives, including model 4416S, may cause Linux
     to hang during initialization. This can be avoided by
     disabling the CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN option in the Linux
     kernel. Newer Linux kernels have this option enabled by
     default.

I'm using an external Yamaha 4416SX !
I can't disable multiple LUNs as I need that for a SCSI-emulated
ATAPI PD-CD unit.

Does anyone have this Yamaha CDRW and Advansys SCSI card?
Is this still a problem?

Thanks,
Peter
