Do you have a _fully_configured_linux_kernel_ , i.e.
did you ever compile your own kernel ? A valid
kernel configuration for your running kernel is
mandatory, as stated in the docs of ftape.
Otherwise ftape cannot gather important information needed.
BTW, if you have a linux 2.2 kernel there is no need to compile ftape,
as it is already contained in the kernel sources. The parameters for
your drive can be entered during kernel configuration.
Hope this helps,
