Re: Cannot configure ftape-doc_1999_03_17 and qftx ?

[Alfredo Tomasini & Iole Moccagatta]

I suggest to check the message under /proc/k....  or /var/log/messages. Use cat
for /proc/k....

If the device is not configured probably the modules zftape has a used number -1
(use lsmod to see it). If that is the case this means the virtual device is not
working and your tape wont work.
I have the same problem and I did not succeed to fix it. It seems a problem in
the ftape package, in my case it is at the level of parallel port configuration,
you will realize what level that problem happen by checking the two files
mentioned above.
