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?

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
Richard

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 ...
