Hello
Having some trouble getting the following devices to work:
Tekram DC315U scsi host adapter
HP 6400/2000 DC scsi tape drive
I am using RH 7.0.
This is what I did:
Patched 2.2.16-22 kernel with patch from tekram
Put source code and header file from tekram in appropriate directory
Chamged /usr/src/linux/Makefile...
EXTRA= -22 changed to
EXTRA= -22-tekram
make mrproper
make menuconfig
followed the instructions given by tekram
;When prompt for "PCI bios support" say "Yes".
;When prompt for "SCSI support" say "Yes".
;When prompt for "SCSI disk support" say "Yes".
;When prompt for "SCSI tape support" say "Yes".
;When prompt for "SCSI CD-ROM support" say "Yes".
;When prompt for "SCSI generic support" say "Yes".
;When prompt for "Tekram DC395/U/UW/F and DC315/U SCSI support'
CONFIG_SCSI_DC395x_TRMS1040" say "Yes".
make dep
make clean
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
Prepared bootdisk:
fdformat /dev/fd0h1440
dd if=/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage of=/dev/fd0 ;sync
Rebooted. All seemed to go well. Get the following kernel messages:
DC395x (TRM-S1040) SCSI driver 1.26, 2000-02-25

sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 32x/32x cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray
When I enter the following command without a tape I get:
[root@localhost /proc]# mt -f /dev/st0 status
SCSI 2 tape drive:
File number=-1, block number=-1, partition=0.
Tape block size 0 bytes. Density code 0x0 (default).
Soft error count since last status=0
General status bits on (50000):
DR_OPEN IM_REP_EN
When I put the tape in the two lights on the front of the tape blink
many times and then the tape is ejected back out. If I push it the
tapes go back in and stays inside the tape drive.
If I then do the following I get:
[root@localhost /proc]# mt -f /dev/st0 retension
/dev/st0: Input/output error
And that's is as far as I get. I tried to clean the tape drive but that
didn't help. I am quite ignorant of scsi and linux and was wondering if
anyone had any ideas as to how to get this device to work or at least
some troubleshooting suggestions.
Sorry if my email was a bit long. I didn't want to miss anything important.
Thanx in advance.
