A friend gave me a Exabyte 17D DLT tape library and I have a Buslogic FlashPoint LW (BT-930) scsi-3 controller card. So I added them to a box already running Fedora 8.
Now I'm stuck. I tried google and didn't get anything that I can make sense out of. and the only message I see are the following:
Partial output from /sbin/lspci:

I didn't see anything in /var/log/messages.
During the boot I entered the Buslogic auto-config routines and it tells me that the scsi controller ID is 7 and the tape library uses 2 ID's 0 and 1.
After the reboot was complete I now see the following messages:
BusLogic: FlashPoint Host Adapter detected at PCI Bus 1 Device 5 BusLogic: I/O Address 0xCC00 PCI Address 0xFDEFF000, irq 16, but FlashPoint BusLogic: support was omitted in this kernel configuration.
I entered the following command:
sudo find / -name *BusLogic*
Which returned:
/lib/modules/2.6.23.9-85.fc8/kernel/drivers/scsi/BusLogic.ko /lib/modules/2.6.23.14-107.fc8/kernel/drivers/scsi/BusLogic.ko
Can the above be used in a 'insmod' command? Or what should I do?
Thanks, Gene Poole

That means someone built the Fedora kernel with the wrong option. There are two kinds of BusLogics. The first do all the thinking in firmware the second offload the higher level parts to Linux.
That message means you've got the latter kind but someone built the kernel to support only the other type not both.
File a bug against the kernel asking them to fix the setting of
config SCSI_OMIT_FLASHPOINT bool "Omit FlashPoint support"
and set it to N not Y
Guess nobody uses buslogic any more ;)

First, do an "lsmod" to see if the BusLogic driver is already loaded (it looks like it is from your message list). However, the Flashpoint version of it doesn't look like it was enabled (e.g. when the BusLogic driver was built, "CONFIG_SCSI_OMIT_FLASHPOINT" was set. That means you need to rebuild the driver.
