Hi, I've just installed a Adaptec 2940 SCSI controller in my SuSE 8 Enterprise box. Its picks the card ok. I also have a 12/24GB SCSI Dat Drive, it does not pick this up. Any idea's or advice? The SCSI id is set to 1 on the DAT Drive. In previous versions on Unix, i used mkdev tape? mkdev tape does not work on SuSE. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance Fareed

I think you will find the tape devices as /dev/st0 /dev/nst0 - non rewind -- Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------

Does the 2940 bios see the drive at boot time? Does the drive get listed by the driver at boot time?

It says device does not exist on st0, rStp0, checked all. The SCSI bios picks up the tape drive, but nothing...

What program are you using that says the device does not exist? I have used a large number of SCSI tape drives since SuSE 6.0 and they all appear as /dev/st0 (First Tape drive) on my systems. Try the following command with a tape in the drive mt -f /dev/st0 status If you don't get any output or "Device not found" please run the following command as root and see if your tape drive is identified. rescan-scsi-bus.sh -- Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------
