Therefore hdd=ide-scsi has no effect. The tape drive would appear as /dev/st0 with ide-scsi. Secondly, ide-tape, which should replace ide-scsi, is broken. Apart from the bug #327355, it doesn't return some flags correctly; in particular GMT_ONLINE is always false. I guess this is causing your error. The solution I adopted, while arguing with the kernel maintainers, is to build a kernel without IDE-TAPE, and with IDE-SCSI (if you leave IDE-TAPE in, you need the hdd=ide-scsi line in your startup parameters, otherwise ide-tape gets preference).
