The driver still exists and actually compiles. It's marked BROKEN, although
I don't know why. If you want to help testing we can update it to current
standards.

I can help. What should I do? And even more important, where can I find it?

Hi,
Just after I sent my previous message I realized where I could find the
driver. It's already compiled and modprobed.
I have only one scsi device attached to it: an ECRIX VXA-1 tape drive.
cat /proc/version gives me:
Linux version 2.6.8-gentoo-r3 (root@coppola2) (gcc version 3.3.4
20040623 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.4-r1, ssp-3.3.2-2, pie-8.7.6)) #4 Wed Sep 22
13:24:17 BRT 2004
cat /proc/scsi/scsi gives me:
Attached devices:
Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 02 Lun: 00
Vendor: ECRIX Model: VXA-1 Rev: 2C8C
Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
so the tape drive is being recognized.
I can't access it though.
I tried "mt -f /dev/nst0" rewind and my first result was:
/dev/nst0: No such file or directory
So I "mknod /dev/nst0 c 9 128" rmmoded and modprobed initio module and
tried again "mt -f /dev/nst0" just to get:
/dev/nst0: No such device or address
Well, I have a rather ordinary Gentoo installation which means it uses
devfs (and devfsd). Could it be the one to blame?
What should I do now?
Do you need any extra info?
Please remember to CC straight to me as I'm not subscribed to this list.
TIAA,
Rodrigo Severo

It works perfectly for me. (I have 1 disk and 1 cdrom.)
Also note that mandrake ships a kernel with the BROKEN flag patched off.
I do not know why was it marked as such.

Do you have the st driver loaded?

In fact it works just fine for me too. As Christoph Hellwig latest
message suggested I was suffering lack-of-st-driver sickness *:">
As far as I can tell the driver is really fine. Maybe it's time to
remove the BROKEN flag from it? I am not sure who is responsible for
this but here is my Works For Me vote.
Thanks you all for your help,
Rodrigo Severo
