I rmmod both the st and fdomain modules. Then I did a modprobe on st then fdomain.

DO I just ned to put the modprobe commands in /etc/rc.d/rc.local or shpuld the system automatically load the modules and detect the devices? Thanks for the help Gene Losey Unified Data Systems, Inc.

What, if any, messages appeared in /var/log/messages when you loaded the fdomain module? Loading the "st" module after the "fdomain" module might not have had the desired effect btw; I'm not sure if the st module will find tape drives added after it's loaded.
