Nothing specific but all the normal SCSI troubleshooting should be
applied first.  ie. Good cables, proper termination, drive/controller
compatibility, etc.

I've had issues with all of the above in a SUSE Linux box and the log
messages are anything but clear as to what the problem is.

If your sure your hardware is good, I also have to run stinit with my
drive before it works right.  Specifically with 10.0 and no stinit my
tape drive appears to make backups, but the restores fail.  After I
run stinit it works.

stinit is in the mt_st package on the purchased DVD (not the CDs, nor
the downloadable ISOs)

Once you install the mt_st package you have to edit the
/etc/stinit.conf file specifically for your drive.  (IIRC)
