debian-user-ers, I have a generic QIC-80 tape drive which I know works with Linux/Ftape, as it was installed and working with a redhat 5.2 system. However, i now wish to get it working in my Debian Woody system, and have encountered many problems. The drive is the only device hooked up to the floppy controller on the motherboard, and is plugged into the fd0 position at the end of the cable (after the twist).
Firstly, the Ftape documentation/FAQs/HOWTOs/etc make mention of an ftape-internal.o module, yet this does not seem to be a module on my system. Also, I installed the 'ftape-utils' package, which created references to this module in /etc/modutils! If i insmod zftape and ftape, that goes okay. However, if i try and use the device it says 'Device not configured'. Modprobing zftape reports: /lib/modules/2.2.17/misc/ftape.o: invalid parameter parm_ft_fdc_driver Is there some blatantly obvious thing I am overlooking?
