I hope someone can help me here, I have an AMD 1700+ running Suse 9.0 professional. I boot of IDE drives, but I have a Adaptec 29160 Scsi card. The only thing connected is a Quantum DLT4500 5 slot mini dlt tape unit. I'm using mtx to control the device. mtx -f /dev/sg1 unload mtx -f /dev/sg1 status etc. All the commands work except for one: mtx -f /dev/sg1 load 3 The tape loads and rewinds but sends back an error :; Destination Element 16 already full. and the scsi bus resets. I have posted in quite a few news groups but no success yet, changed cards, change lead, terminators etc. I can read and write to the tape drive no problem... Someone suggested that its the current build of the kernel and the re-complied a new one, but I got scared off at this. Any suggestions: Thanks Dean
