wrong ftape version

[Bert Radke]

Hi Henning,

   I had a similar problem recently and folks on this list helped 
me out :-} 
I suggest you compile your kernel WITHOUT support for the
ftape - device ( looks like suse is shipping an old version that
does not work for the 2.2.x kernels ).
Then get the newest version of ftape ( is marked unstable but
due to this list should work ok ). Compile it and install it as
described in the readme.

--> this should work ( worked for me anyway )

Good luck
