Ok I found my problem ... I see a number behind all disk & tape drive. I didn't know what is it .... and see two '4' on a the tape drive and the Conner hard drive ... Ok i understand what's this number is : the target of SCSI. I didn't know that is put manually ! So I put '6' and the tape drive and all is gone .... Now I see the tape drive in /proc/scsi. But there is no device /dev/tape. It this set by kernel and point to /dev/st0 ? Must I recompile my kernel ?
