/dev/st0 is right. Make sure the st.o kernel module is loaded first, as
well as the aic7xxx.o module (presumably that's right for your Adaptec
card). You can also use /dev/nst0 (non-rewinding).
Define "no luck". What exactly did you do and what exactly happened?
What error message did you get?
Quote:> dmesg shows that both the card as well as the tape device is recognized.
Show us the output of 'dmesg | grep -i scsi' and 'lsmod', please. That
will help determine if all of the right modules are in place.
