jonabyte Member Registered: Oct 2003 Location: Canada Distribution: Mint, Debian, Ubuntu Server Posts: 31 Rep:	IDE Tape drive problems FC2 I 've been having problems installing an Exabyte XVA-1 IDE tape drive on FC2 I found an article that basically said to edit the grub and add hdc=ide-scsi. I did that and now the device is on ht0, but when I run dmesg, I am getting an "i/o error", "can't get tape parameters" and "drive not ready" errors. I have changed the tapes and even the ide cables with no luck. Any suggestions? Thanks j
