Hi,
Can somebody help me installing Ftape 4.02 in redhat 6.0 ?
According to Ftape-HOWTO, I have
(1) downloaded the following files from
http://www.math1.rwth-aachen.de/%7Eheine/ftape/
and untared them.
ftape-4.02-1.i386.rpm
ftape-tools-1.07-1.i386.rpm
ftape-4.02.tar.gz
ftape-4.x-doc-1.03.tar.tz
zftape-1.06.tar.gz
(2) tried installing ftape-4.02-1.i386.rpm using rpm
The package install some files in /lib/modules/2.0.35/misc and
append
alias char-major-27 zftape
options ftape ft_fdc_driver=ftape-internal,none,none,none
options ftape-internal ft_fdc_base=0x180 ft_fdc_irq=9
ft_fdc_dma=3
#pre-install ftape-internal /sbin/swapout 15
to /etc/conf.modules.
Because the kernel running in my linux box is 2.2.5-22, I copy
bpck-fdc.o, trakker.o, and ftape-internal.o to
/lib/modules/2.2.5-22/misc.
After rebooting the system, /var/log/messages contains the following
message
============================================================

When running lsmod, I got

When running modprobe zftape, I got

============================================================
When running mt -f /dev/ftape retension, I got
============================================================
/dev/ftape: No such device
============================================================
Thus, I had no choice but to give up.
(3) and tried to recompile Ftape-4.02
After make, I got

============================================================
After some 'adjustment', error message
structure has no member named `timeout' (caused by structure
'current')
can also be generated by ftape-buffer.c and ftape-io.c
So, it does not seem possible to compile Ftape-4.02 in redhat6.0 with
linux
kernel 2.2.5-22.
Any comment, suggestion and help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Michael
