Hello to all. I have a colorado 2.4gb tape drive. I'm using an aha-1510 scsi card with the drive connected to the internal port on the card. I'm using the aha152x.s boot image under slackware7.1. If I use a kernel like 2.2.7, everything works great. However if I use 2.2.13 or later, the machine totally locks up with no messages or anything. I'm using mt and tar to do the backup. I will include my tape backup script in this message so you can see what's going on. Following is the tape backup script. #!/bin/bash umount /dev/hdc umount /dos1 umount /dos2 umount /dos3 echo Retensioning tape. mt -f /dev/st0 retension echo Erasing tape. mt -f /dev/st0 erase cd / echo now, doing a full backup of this system. nohup tar -zcpf /dev/st0 / mount /dos1 mount /dos2 mount /dos3 echo Finished... There is the script. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. One other thing. I have 64mb of ram, and 128mb swap space. Thanks in advance.
