I would first try to put the tape drive on an ID other than 0. Next, if you
are running a custom kernel, make sure that st has been included in it.

Having trouble with RH7 seeing this tape drive.
I installed an adaptec 3940 controller (it was lying around) and attached an
exabyte scsi 8mm tape drive to it. Want to use this for back up. This is the
only thing connected to the adapter card. When I boot, the adapter says that
the tape drive is on channel B at scsi id 0. Then it says scsi bios not
loaded.
When the RH7 kernel boots, it says scsi: 0 devices found.
I cannot access /dev/st0.
Am I missing something?
I checked the various HowTos, nothing helped. I even restarted with a tape
in
the drive. Still nothing.
BTW, this drive works fine with Windoze.
TIA for any info...
-Anders.
