ftape-internal

[Paul O'Neil]

I have a HP Colorado T3000. I recently changed to a new motherboard and
reinstalled the Linux-Mandrake. I had ftape working fine before by
recompiling the kernel without FDC support and no floppy. I tried doing the
same thing but now I'm not sure what's wrong. I can get status back fine but
when I try to mount the tape using kdat, it says "reading magic string" and
the tape moves for a couple seconds at a time repeatedly. here is my dmesg
attached.
