Hi all, I'm trying to setup an onboard ATAPI Seagate Travan TapeStor 20GB tape drive. I've compiled a 2.4.18 kernel with ide-tape and ide-scsi support, and and had problems with both drivers.
I've looked on the internet, but no solution. It would help to know which to work with. ide-tape: --------- dmesg output (snippit) ------------ May 27 17:37:31 thurra kernel: hdd: Seagate STT20000A, ATAPI TAPE drive ... ... May 27 17:37:31 mypc kernel: ide-tape: hdd <-> ht0: 1000KBps, 6*54kB buffer, 9720kB pipeline, 110ms tDSC, DMA problem ------- Using ide-tape mt rewind, erase etc commands lead to drive activity, but tar cvf /dev/ht0 /dir (hopefully correct) lead to tape busy errors until a reboot. ide-scsi -------- dmesg output ------------ May 28 18:01:35 mypc kernel: st: Version 20020205, bufsize 32768, wrt 30720, max init. bufs 4, s/g segs 16 May 28 18:01:35 mypc kernel: Attached scsi tape st0 at scsi1, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 problem ------- After adding "append "hdd=ide-scsi", to lilo and rebooting, I get mt Input/Output errors such as: mt: /dev/st0: Input/output error mt: /dev/nst0: Input/output error -- Kind regards Christian Eyre -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
