making a SCSI card work with installed SUSE 7.3
I have added an LSI Logic SCSI card with a tape drive on ID 1 to a working Linux system which is happily booting off the IDE drive. It still works fine, the setup utility reports the scsi card and tape have been found but linux does not seem to see the card. I'm thinking it is a driver not found problem. Is thre something I have to do to make linux recognize the card? Is there some "auto detect" mode that will find it? It is the sym53c875 scsi chip set. Thanks, -Peter Kellner

Edit /etc/modules.conf and search for a line with alias scsi-hostadapter off and change it to alias scsi-hostadapter sym53c8xx Now try to access the tape using the mt utility: mt -f /dev/st0 status now the driver should automatically get loaded and mt report the status of your tape drive.

I have an entry /sbin/modprobe sym53c416 in /etc/rc.d/boot.local This works ok here. Brian Marr On Monday 22 July 2002 12:41, you wrote:
