5 - Describe exact symptoms. I don't know what "I can't get RH6.0 to see
it" means. I also don't know what "The hardware sees the device" means.
If you have a SCSI tape drive, and the SCSI adaptor wasn't there when you
installed RH6.0, then adding "alias host_adaptor aic7xxx" to
/etc/conf.modules should allow you to access the tape drive as /dev/st0.
Substitute blah for aic7xxx if /lib/modules/2.2.*/scsi/blah.o is the
driver for your SCSI card.
