Hi all,
I'am running:
* ftape v4.03-pre-4 06/30/99
* Red Hat 6.0 kernel 2.2.5-22
* Conner 3200MB Travan internal tape drive with a CTC-2MB
Floppy-Controller.
I've used the tapedrive with succes on a Red Hat 5.2 system
with ftape 4.02. Because I can't get 4.02 compiled on Red Hat 6.0
I've tried to use ftape 3.xx wich is shipped with Red Hat 6.0
like this:
insmod ftape ft_fdc_base=0x370 ft_fdc_irq=6 ft_fdc_dma=2
insmod zftape
This worked only half because taper core dumped while backing up.
So I'am trying to run the latest unstable release. Everything seem
to be fine until I run taper wich tells me:
Device not configured while opening backup device

How can I solve this problem?
Tanx in advance,
