Josh -
Unfortunately, you're just been hit by one of the 'worst' bits of using
Linux -- you MUST learn how to configure and build a kernel if you
require services outside of those provided by your distribution vendor.
Here's the tip for ide-scsi:
Execute 'make menuconfig'
In Block Devices set:
IDE-TAPE=M
SCSI-EMULATION=M
In SCSI set:
SCSI=Y
ST=M
(Unless you have a SCSI adapter, you don't need to dig further).
Build and install the new kernel (don't forget to run lilo!).
Reboot
insmod ide-scsi
insmod st
Now, you access the tape as /dev/nst0 or /dev/st0 instead of ht0.
Good luck.
