i am using the latest source tarball from amanda.org - i.e. 2.4.2p2

thanks a lot - i got a big step further - i now get the
changer recognized by solaris and basic communication with
it seems to work but it still does not work completely
ok - here some details:
chg-scsi.cfg:
number_configs 1
eject 1 # Tapedrives need an eject command
sleep 60 # Seconds to wait until the tape gets
ready
cleanmax 10 # How many times could a cleaning tape
get used
changerdev /dev/scsi/changer/c2t4d1
#
# Next comes the data for drive 0
#
config 0
drivenum 0
dev /dev/rmt/1cbn # the device that is used for
the tapedrive 0 (BSD type, no rewind, no compression)
startuse 0 # The slots associated with the drive 0
enduse 4 #
statfile /usr/local/amanda/etc/amanda/fptsys/tape0-slot #
The file where the actual slot is stored
cleancart 5 # the slot where the cleaningcartridge
for drive 0 is located
cleanfile /usr/local/amanda/etc/amanda/fptsys/tape0-clean #
The file where the cleanings are recorded
usagecount /usr/local/amanda/etc/amanda/fptsys/totaltime
tapestatus /usr/local/amanda/etc/amanda/fptsys/tape0-status
#labelfile /usr/local/amanda/etc/amanda/fptsys/labelfile #

the problems are that it has as it looks like some problems with
moving and ejecting tapes etc.:
[amanda@fptapp02 fptsys]$ amtape fptsys show
amtape: scanning all 5 slots in tape-changer rack:
slot 4: no tape online
slot 0: slot 0 is empty
amtape: could not load slot 1: slot 1 move failed <----- ???
[amanda@fptapp02 fptsys]$ amtape fptsys eject
amtape: slot 1 is ejected. <----- !

do you have any idea where to look further?
a lot of thanks in advance
