Hello, we are using a Server HP ProLiant ML370 G5 with a SmartArray-P400-SAS-HBA and a HP StorageWorks Ultrium 920/448 SAS Tape-Drive. Our Problem is: Debian Etch does not recognize the drive. Installing the standard-lenny-kernel does not improve the situation.
Below there are some informational outputs from the system belonging the problem. The SAS-Hard-Disks are operating perfectly (using the modules scsi-Mod and cciss). Can you give us any hint to fix the problem ? TIA Best regards Hubert Plaschke SgzhFsKvm1:~# modinfo st filename: /lib/modules/2.6.22-3-amd64/kernel/drivers/scsi/st.ko alias: scsi:t-0x01* alias: char-major-9-* license: GPL description: SCSI tape (st) driver author: Kai Makisara depends: scsi_mod vermagic: 2.6.22-3-amd64 SMP mod_unload parm: buffer_kbs:Default driver buffer size for fixed block mode (KB; 32) (int) parm: max_sg_segs:Maximum number of scatter/gather segments to use (256) (int) parm: try_direct_io:Try direct I/O between user buffer and tape drive (1) (int) parm: try_rdio:Try direct read i/o when possible (int) parm: try_wdio:Try direct write i/o when possible (int) SgzhFsKvm1:~# modprobe st SgzhFsKvm1:~# dmesg | tail ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready bnx2: eth0 NIC Link is Up, 1000 Mbps full duplex ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready input: Power Button (FF) as /class/input/input5 ACPI: Power Button (FF) [PWRF] Installing knfsd (copyright (C) 1996 [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
