Bad news - nothing at id 4 (my tape drive id) probe-scsi gives 4 devices: (I forget my sheet of paper with the exact details but the output was something as follows)
id 1 Hard drive Unit0 id 3 Hard Drive Unit0 id 4 Tape drive Unit0 Unit1 Unit2 ... Unit7 id 5 CDROM Unit0 but cat /proc/scsi/scsi gives three: id1 Hard Drive id3 Hard Drive id6 CDrom I've tried compiling in scsi tape support (which I guess is there as standard anyway) and multiple LUN support (as the output from probe-scsi suggests multiple LUNs) but still no joy The tape unit is some QIC-24 based unit I'm presuming. The kernel is 2.0.33 - should I think of upgrading to 35 (or whatever's the top stable kernel)? Please help me from switching back to SunOS........! John Could you do a cat /proc/scsi/scsi to see what the kernel sees on the scsi bus... it might help in determine if the SCSI tape drive is saying it is something other than tape drive. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe sparclinux" in the body of the message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
