Have set up rh 8.0 but cannot get it to "see" the tape drive. Compaq ML370 server, has scsi raid array with 2 channels, one for the HD's and one for the tape drive. Have 3 HD's running raid 5, no problems there, the bios sees the tape drive, scsi channel 1 device id6. I can see RH loading the scsi module during boot up but no mention of the drive itself, which should be st0 if im not mistaken. The drive is a Seagate Scorpion40 which is supposed to be Linux compatible in it's default config, which is how it's set up. I tried adding a line in the fstab file but kept getting errors about file system, etc. Any Suggestions?

cat /proc/scsi/scsi

did that got this Attached devices: none now what???

we have reached my limit of raid knowledge. as i understand, you have 2 working "scsi" HD's? (e.g., sda, sdb). If so, do you have any file under /proc/scsi/*? Try dmesg|less - mine includes: SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00 PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 00:08.0 scsi0 : Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 6.2.4 aic7880: Ultra Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 16/253 SCBs Vendor: SEAGATE Model: ST15150N Rev: 0023 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Vendor: MAXTOR Model: 7213-SCSI Rev: 0742 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 01 CCS Vendor: WANGTEK Model: KS23569 Rev: _B11 Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 01 CCS Vendor: SyQuest Model: EZ135S Rev: 1_13 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 scsi0:A:0:0: Tagged Queuing enabled.

Here is what the above returned: SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00 kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k scsi_hostadapter, errno = 2 Compaq SMART2 Driver (v 2.4.22) cpqarray: Device 0x10 has been found at bus 0 dev 1 func 0 cpqarray: Finding drives on ida0 (Integrated Array) cpqarray ida/c0d0: blksz=512 nr_blks=35520480 cpqarray: Starting firmware's background processing blk: queue c03b4c40, I/O limit 4095Mb (mask 0xffffffff) Partition check: ida/c0d0: p1 p2 p3 p4 Does anyone know what the kmode error means? Why would RH see scsi port 0, the hard drives, and not see port1 which has the tape drive on it? Could it be a bug in this kernel?
