I have upgraded to the latest version of the kernel 2.2.5-22, and I
got the latest version of the unstable ftape-4.x-1999_06_30. I believe
I have a standard floppy controller and only changed MCONFIG to have i586
instead of the default i486. "make" and "make install" and ./modules/insert
all went okay without errors.
However, when I did an "lsmod", I did not receive the expected:
ftape-internal (autoclean)
zftape
(autoclean
ftape
(autoclean)
but instead I got:
[root@gateway modules]# lsmod
Module

bpck-fdc

zft-compressor 16396
-1
zftape
87500 -1 [zft-compressor]
ftape
145432 0 [bpck-fdc trakker ftape-internal zft-compressor
zftape]
I tried to do a simpe "mt -f /dev/nqft0 status" and "rewind" and got
"device not configured"
If this is related to setting the base, irq and dma, could you let me
know how I discover these. I've tried to find them via dmesg and
they aren't shown.
Also, I received make errors when I tried to install ftape-tools-1999_03_17.
Thanks again,

Yes. 4.03 will not work on Red Hat Linux 6.0 because it comes with the
2.2.5-15 kernel that you probably should have upgraded to the 2.2.5-22
version by now. In any case, the 4.03 ftape will not work with 2.2.5
kernels. You need the unstable version of ftape and ftape-tools.
