Hello,
I previously had this drive working with the stock RedHat install, but in
order to get ftformat to work I attempted an upgrade. 4.02 did not
compile, so I went to the latest, greatest, ftape:
ftape-4.x-1999_09_11
RH 6.1 Fresh 2.2.13 kernel installed
Used the kernel-inclusion scripts from ftape
The tape drive is a Seagate 3200MB Travan drive on the supplied FDC. The
port/base/dma are as shown in line 004 of the output below
(/etc/conf.modules was set up according to the docs). Line 011 says "No
tape drive found"... I'm at a loss... where should I go from here?
Debugging output is included below.
Thanks,
Sean
