I tried to load the module, with: modprobe st, but this is not correct. It returns "Cannot load module ST"
OK. This helps a little. Although the drive is seen by the SCSI controller and reports it to be ID 2, the kernel is not seeing the drive. You may only need to load the module for the SCSI tape subsystem as follows:
modprobe st (I believe is the correct module) tail /var/log/messages -or- dmesg
should show the tape drive as being recognized by the kernel.
Try that and let us know the results.
