SCSI Tape - No such device- debian woody
I have the following happening:
<output of dmesg> Linux version 2.4.18.05 (root@sloth) (gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian PCI: Sharing IRQ 5 with 00:09.0 ahc_pci:0:11:0: Host Adapter Bios disabled.

TIA Kim |
What does the output of the following show:
cat /proc/scsi/scsi Also, I see the tape module being loaded but not the SCSI controller module. Is it compiled into the kernel? What about the other modules, scsi_mod? Does dmesg show the tape drive being recognized too? |
cat /proc/scsi/scsi
Attached devices: none I have messed and hacked around with it a bit so i have a renewed list below of some things that may be of interest. Somehow i LOST the st module (Now compiled into kernel) does that matter? ==== bash-2.05a# modprobe aic7xxx bash-2.05a# insmod st insmod: st: no module by that name found bash-2.05a# lsmod Module Size Used by Not tainted aic7xxx 104640 0 (unused) vfat 9340 1 (autoclean) fat 29944 0 (autoclean) [vfat] iptable_filter 1728 0 (unused) ip_tables 13696 1 [iptable_filter] dummy 960 0 (unused) bash-2.05a# mt -f /dev/nst0 status /dev/nst0: Inappropriate ioctl for device bash-2.05a# mt -f /dev/nst0 status /dev/st0: No such device bash-2.05a# mt -f /dev/st0 status /dev/tape: No such device bash-2.05a# ls -la /dev/nst0 crw-rw---- 1 root root 7, 0 Sep 4 13:08 /dev/nst0 bash-2.05a# ls -la /dev/nst0 crw-rw---- 1 root tape 9, 0 Sep 4 11:03 /dev/st0 bash-2.05a# ls -la /dev/tape lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Sep 20 16:30 /dev/tape -> /dev/st0 Cheers Kim |
