hp_ltt is a utility from HP to control their tapedrives,
ie. update firmware, diagnostic functions and so on.

The strange thing is that the URL I gave earlier in this thread 
would indicate the same behaviour with a completely
different SCSI-driver....

Thanks for that, I could try this out at some point.
Now the update of the tapedrive could be done by adding mem=512M
to the boot line, running the firmware update and then reboot again wo.
the memory limit.
So this was meant more like a report that something is wrong in there.
