Subject: /dev/[*]st* does not work with EXBAYTE 8505 with 2.6 kernels
Date: Wed, 25 Aug 2004 08:27:41 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <412C315D.1000708@hovedpuden.dk> (raw)

I have just upgraded from RH9 Linux 2.4 to FC2 Linux 2.6 and now my
EXABYTE 8505 no longer works.

If I try to access it with mt (using any device like nst0) I get no such
device error message. Same thing with stinit.

The tape drive is found during boot, as this snippet from dmesg shows:
qla1280: QLA12160 found on PCI bus 1, dev 8
ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:01:08.0[A] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11

scsi(1:0:4:0): Sync: period 50, offset 14

cat of /proc/scsi/scsi also shows the tape device:

lsmod seems to contain the necessary driver modules as well:

Any hints?
Please don't tell me that the 8505 is no longer supported.

Cheers
John
