Hello Mark,
Thanks for your response,
I think my problem is born after applying the K_timer-2.4.7-9 package on
my SLES7. I think the new generic module tape390.o brought with this
package don't load any external module.
This is what I get when I load this module:
Modprobe tape390 tape=181
linsvg:� � T390:IBM S/390 Tape Device Driver (v1.01).
T390:(C) IBM Deutschland Entwicklung GmbH, 2000
T390:character device frontend : built in
T390:block device frontend : built in
T390:support for 3480 compatible : built in
T390:support for 3490 compatible : built in
T390:Using ranges supplied in parameters, disabling autoprobe mode.
TCHAR:<3> tape gets major 254 for character device
TBLOCK:<3> tape gets major 254 for block device
If I do an lsmod I only see the tape390 module.
The result is the same even if I copy all tape_34xx modules from
/lib/modules/2.4.7-Suse.../ to the /lib/modules/2.4.7-timer..../char
library.
If I do:
linsvg:/lib/modules/2.4.7-timer-SMP/kernel/drivers/s390/char # insmod -f
tape_3590_mod.o

The last test I do is to copy all the tapexxx modules from
/lib/mod../2.4.7-Sus.../char to the /lib/modules/2.4.7-tim.../char :
linsvg:/lib/modules/2.4.7-timer-SMP/kernel/drivers/s390/char # insmod -f

Any idea ?
