Well, /is/ there a /dev/st0? If so, that's a problem, but it would appear it's saying there is no such device, which indicates a problem with your device system. It could be anything from not having that device driver compiled, to not having it loaded if it's built as a kernel module, to having it loaded but it not finding the device so it doesn't create a node, to some funniness with udev, such that the device node isn't created, or is created in a different location. As I don't have such a device, it's a bit difficult to tell, from here, but one think you could do would be a "find /dev/ -name st0". That would at least tell you whether udev put the device in a subdir instead of the main /dev. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
