Hi,
I have a problem with my new kernel 2.2.13, and my old
iomega tape 250 (floppy tape QIC-80)
>mt -f /dev/rft0 rewind
mt: /dev/rft0: No such device
But the devices exist
crw-rw---- 1 root disk 27, 4 Jul 23 01:05 /dev/nrft0
crw-rw---- 1 root disk 27, 5 Jul 23 01:05 /dev/nrft1
crw-rw---- 1 root disk 27, 0 Jul 23 01:05 /dev/rft0
crw-rw---- 1 root disk 27, 1 Jul 23 01:05 /dev/rft1
and the module is loaded

The kernel log doesn�t sound bad!
