seems to me that i recall that ftape support should NOT be in the kernel
(monolithic or modular)
I installed ftape 4.03-pre-2 and the current ftape tools, THEN rebuilt the
kernel, including the use of the make modules and make modules_install
commands... perhaps this combination will work for you too..

Subject: Can anyone shed some light on Ftape/Ditto Max/Ditto Dash and
RedHat
I have been struggling to get the Ditto Max and Ditto Dash combination in
my server to work but have hit a wall every turn I have made. My system is
a Cyrix 150+. The kernel version is 2.0.36. The ftape version is
4.03-pre-2. The isapnptools is version isapnptools-1.17-1. When I compiled
the ftape modules I did not see any errors but when I reboot the server I
get unresolved symbol errors. I have reinstalled RedHat twice but I still
cannot get this to work. What I need to know is how do you configure the
Ditto Dash Card?
Since the floppy controller sits at 0x370 and IRQ 6 how can the Dash card
reside there?
Will this combination actually work or should I just go out and buy a SCSI
tape system?
At one point in this venture I actually got the drive to eject the tape. I
also kept getting messages that the device was write protected. In
var/log/messages I did get a message that the cartridge was not formatted.
So I went and bought new tapes and got the same message.
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can point this way.
