First thing I would check is the output of dmesg, you may need to reboot |
| 12 |
depending on how many messages were added since the last reboot. You |
| 13 |
should some entries where the kernel detectes the drive (by model number) and |
| 14 |
assigns it a device name (st0). |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
As an example, look for your primary hard drive entry (hda, hde, sda etc). |
| 17 |
There should be a similar entry for st0 after it detects the tape drive. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
If not, that most likely means the kernel is missing some required driver(s). |
| 20 |
It sounds like you have the scsi adapter configured and loaded, do you have |
| 21 |
scsi tape support configured and loaded (if a moduled)? |
