Many thanks, Rudy!
I am getting closer now.
The version of ftape at http://www.linuxtapecert.org/
is the same version as the most recent one at the
ftape home page, but the dates on the files are
newer. I still got those isa_dma warnings, but it
compiled.
unfortunately, insmod ftape; insmod zftape; insmod trakker
gave me the following torrent in /var/log/messages . I guess
there is an irq conflice?
parport is compiled into the kernel; dmesg gives:
parport0: PC-style at 0x378 [SPP] (I have not specified
any irq numbers in lilo.conf) .
Reading through the manuals but haven't found any
reference to this problem yet; any advice would be
very much appreciated.
