Hi 

I'm using a RH 7.1 distro with 2.4.2 kernel.

I seem to be having problems doing a Tape back up.

The Tape drive, I beleive is working fine.Ran a
modprobe on aic7xxx.Output showed Sequentail access
etc..

Then ran the command tar -cpzvf /dev/nst0 /home.
The command throws the file list on the screen for a
few files and then hangs..later times out.I tried the
same on st0 also.That hung too.

Then i end up restarting my system coz any successive
commands using "mt" returns a device/resource busy
signal.(Am not able to kill the process.Zombie
persists)

Also every time I reboot , I end up doing an modprobe
on aic7xxx coz the module doesnt get installed on
startup.

The following is the default output of lsmod:
Module                  Size  Used by

What am I missing?Any help?

Thanks
