I have a redhat linux 5.2 box, w/ kernel ver 2.0.36. I recently
reinstalled it as it had an old version of linux on it, but the tape
drive worked. Now, I can't seem to get the tape drive to work.
It's a colorado 14000 ( QIC 3020 ), with an fc-20 controller. I booted
it up into Win95 to get the Base: 210, IRQ: 6, and DMA:2.
Then I set those in the MCONFIG file and ran `make 2> err.txt`.
I captured stderr and these are the only warnings I got:
In file included from fdc-internal.c:50:
fdc-internal.h:59: warning: `CONFIG_FT_FDC_BASE_0' redefined
*Initialization*:1: warning: this is the location of the previous
definition
fdc-internal.h:60: warning: `CONFIG_FT_FDC_IRQ_0' redefined
*Initialization*:1: warning: this is the location of the previous
definition
fdc-internal.h:61: warning: `CONFIG_FT_FDC_DMA_0' redefined
*Initialization*:1: warning: this is the location of the previous
definition
So I edited the fdc-internal.h and set the BASE, IRQ, and DMA in there as
well. Ran `make 2> err.txt` again and got no errors this time. Then I ran
`make install` and it gave no problems. Then `cd modules` and `. install`.
When I ran the last command, it gives a "can't find module parport"
message.
Running an `mt -f /dev/ftape rewind` then gives a
/dev/ftape: Device not configured
/dev/ftape is symlinked to -> /dev/rft0
I am at a loss now of what to do. I've been working on this for 3 days,
and have also tried it on a redhat 6.0 machine with identical hardware
configuration. I've also tried compiling it into the kernel. I can't seem
to get this to work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I hope I've included enough
information, but if not, I'd be more than willing to supply more.
Eagerly awaiting any ideas you can give,
Josh Jones
