Hard to say why. 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.... > New aic7xxx drivers can be found at: > http://people.freebsd.org/~gibbs/linux > At the bottom of that page are newer rpms for RedHat 9 > (than distributed by redhat). 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. --- Dag
