OK, I I trying to get a tape drive to work on my RH 7.1 system, but I am running into
problems... Here is what I have: HP 8GB Travan external (parallel port). When I look
at HP's web page, they do not claim compatibility with Linux, but it does give a
reference to using the Linux kernel's par_ide. I have compiled the paride and pt
modules, but it still does not seem to work... Here is what I get when I load them...
[root@www paride]# modprobe paride
[root@www paride]# lsmod
Module Size Used by
paride 3728 0 (unused)
[root@www paride]# modprobe pt
/lib/modules/2.4.3-12/kernel/drivers/block/paride/pt.o: init_module: Operation not
permitted
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO
or IRQ parameters
/lib/modules/2.4.3-12/kernel/drivers/block/paride/pt.o: insmod
/lib/modules/2.4.3-12/kernel/drivers/block/paride/pt.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.3-12/kernel/drivers/block/paride/pt.o: insmod pt failed
Here is the console error....
Sep 25 14:15:32 www kernel: pt0: Autoprobe failed
Sep 25 14:15:32 www kernel: pt: No ATAPI tape drive detected
Sep 25 14:23:46 www kernel: paride: version 1.06 installed (parport)
Sep 25 14:24:02 www kernel: pt: pt version 1.04, major 96
Sep 25 14:24:02 www modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module paride_protocol
Sep 25 14:24:02 www kernel: pt0: Autoprobe failed
Sep 25 14:24:02 www kernel: pt: No ATAPI tape drive detected
Then of course, there is no using /dev/pt0 for backing up. Any help is definately
appreciated.
Thanks,
