Hi all gurus, I've been working on Redhat 6.2 kernel 2.4.2 and when I installed a Adaptec AHA 2490 SCSI card and connected a HP surestore DAT tape drive at the other end. The card is recognised by the CMOS but when I type in dmesg I dont see any mention to the tape drive. I'm relatively new to the Linux world , I'd appreciate if any of you gurus can help me out of this dead end. The output of dmesg is as follows:
