Richard,
Thank you for the reply. I read the tutorial that you mentioned and
performed the commands. Partial output is shown:
# dmesg | grep TAPE
hdd: Seagate STT20000A, ATAPI TAPE drive
So it appears to find the TAPE drive.
# /sbin/modprobe ide-scsi
FATAL: Module ide_scsi not found.
I suspect that this means that the ide_scsi is not installed, or not loading
properly. Do you know of a tutorial that addresses the installation of the
ide_scsi module?
Daniel

For FC2 try (as root):
$ rmmod ide-tape
$ rmmod ide-scsi
$ insmod ide-scsi
Hopefully your tape unit will again appear as an
emulated scsi device.
If it works add to /etc/rc.d/rc.local or pass to
kernel via grub
Under FC3 see the howto on
http://fedoranews.org/
Hope this helps

Hello all,
I have a dell poweredge 600SC that was originally
installed with Redhat 8. I downloaded fedora core 2
and performed an upgrade to this system. Before the
upgrade the IDE tape drive worked fine with a SCSI
emulator which comes compiled into the linux kernel by
default. After the upgrade I began to see the
following error:
root$ mt -f /dev/nst0 status
/dev/nst0: No such device or address
