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`
Then I ran 'make install'
Then 'cd ./modules'
Then '. insert'
Everythig seemed to work fine... but
When I try 'mt -f /dev/ftape rewind'
I get the message:
/dv/ftape: Device not Configured
I don't know what to do from here to try and 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
P.S.
I tried all of this on redhat 6.0 and got the exact same results.
