Marco,
Thanks very much for your reply! I will re-examine the BIOSs with your
question in mind. I have visited but not focused on the system BIOS, and
my inspections of the PERC BIOS have mostly been purposed towards
determining whether or not it could see and test the tape drive, and
getting the tape drive's SCSI address. I plan on re-examining the BIOSs
later today or tomorrow.

There is no tape in your dmesg. Are you sure the server is set to RAID/SCSI in
the bios?
