Hi!
I have exactly the same kernel - Ftape4.04a works just fine for me. I have
an Iomega Ditto Max Pro tape drive.

If you have an unmodified 2.5.15-15 install off the RedHat 6.0 CD, this is
just fine - worked on my system.

Erm - I am not too sure about this - I just followed the procedures as
outlined in the ftape docs, put in the correct DMA, IRQ and memory base
values in MCONFIG and compiled it.

Did you do a "make dep" in the /usr/src/linux directory before attempting to
compile ftape? I got EXACTLY these same errors (unresolved symbols) on
trying to compile ftape because I misread one line (!) in the ftape install
doc that said you must do a "make dep" before attempting to compile ftape.

Not at all - if we do not try and help new guys (I am a green little
stinkin' newbie myself!) Linux would die.
Regards, please mail me if you have further trouble. BTW - what tape drive
are you trying to use?
