Hi Peter,

>From your lsmod listing you don't have one of the drive specific
drivers loaded.  Depending on which drive you have you need to
load either bpck-fdc.o, trakker.o, or internal.o.  Unless you have
tapes that used zft-compressor.o from an old release of ftape you
won't need it since ftape no longer can compress data.

You will also need to install the following:

The modules-2.0.0 utility package has some serious flaws and it
won't work with ftape-internal.  Get the newer modutils-2.1.85 that
is used with kernel 2.1.x.  You can get it at:

ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.1/

The docs with the package says it won't compile without a
kernel 2.1.x header files, but it worked with no problems with my
2.0.35 kernel header files.
