I'm trying to add an external tape drive to a HP ProLiant DL 380 running SuSE Linux Pro 9.2 on the Smart Array controller without much success. The controller BIOS appears to recognize the device during boot, but I can't seem to find it on the system.
I've seen at least one complaint that the RH 2.6.11 FC _SMP_ kernel will fail to recognize a SCSI tape drive, but that the UP kernel will work. I don't know if that is vanilla kernel issue, or RH specific. If you are currently testing with a SMP kernel, you might want to try booting a UP kernel and see if it works. HTH Greg -- Greg Freemyer
