Unable to connect Iomega Tape 420 with ftape 3.04d included in Linux kernel 2.2.9

[BUFFAT MARIE-LAURE CESSI TOULOUSE]

Hello.

I've upgraded my Linux kernel from 2.0.36 to 2.2.9 on a RedHat 5.2.

With Kernel 2.0.36, ftape works good with ftape-4.02 rpm installation and
standard Redhat kernel.

Now, i have compiled kernel 2.2.9 with ftape and zftape support with normal FDC
controller like The Ftape Installation and Usage Guide and online kernel config
help says.

Now, when i launch a "ftmt -f /dev/qft0 status", i have the message "/dev/qft0
- operation not permitted on this device".

My tape is a Iomega Tape 420 internal connected on the standard Floppy disk
controler, on a IBM PC 350, Pentium 100, 80 Mb of RAM.

Here is the system logs when system load ftape module.
