Hi!
I'm having trouble with a Seagate IDE tape drive that previously
worked with 2.2.x kernels. (tape is a STT8000A travan drive)
The box has an ABIT m/b with intel 815 chipset.
On 2.2 I used the ide tape modules which let me access the drive on
ht0, but that did not work at all on 2.4.x.
I'm now using scsi_mod, ide-scsi and st and it seems
to mostly work. However, sometimes backups fail, and
I always get a couple of error messages every backup.
Any tweaks I can make, maybe at modiule load? The tape unit
worked fine under 2.2.x on an intel 440BX m/b.
I sifted thru google but it did not turn up much helpful stuff.
