Well, /is/ there a /dev/st0? |

If so, that's a problem, but it would appear it's saying there is no such |
| 14 |
device, which indicates a problem with your device system. It could be |
| 15 |
anything from not having that device driver compiled, to not having it |
| 16 |
loaded if it's built as a kernel module, to having it loaded but it not |
| 17 |
finding the device so it doesn't create a node, to some funniness with |
| 18 |
udev, such that the device node isn't created, or is created in a |
| 19 |
different location. |

As I don't have such a device, it's a bit difficult to tell, from here, |
| 22 |
but one think you could do would be a "find /dev/ -name st0". That would |
| 23 |
at least tell you whether udev put the device in a subdir instead of the |
| 24 |
main /dev. |
