Sean Akers@ROMAX 02/04/2001 12:30 Funnily enough, I've just installed one of these this weekend. I couldn't get it going on either SuSE 6.4 or 7.0 using the standard SuSE kernels and the patch program complained quite a lot when I tried patching them. I ended up downloading a new 2.2.16 (non SuSE) and patching that along with compiling and installing mt-st prog from linuxtapecert.org. Worked first time when I did this. I thought SuSE had already patched their kernels to work with this drive but they just didn't work. I also notice that the drive is not listed in the hardware database on SuSEs web site. I haven't tried the drive with 2.2.18 yet but that's on my list of things to do. As to using taper. I haven't been able to get that working with the drive. tar works perfectly though. Sean.
