Put the following line in /etc/modprobe.conf : alias scsi_hostadapter fdomain That should take care of getting the SCSI controller recognised at boot time. I don't know if kudzu will then recognise the tape drive or not. Give it a try. If it doesn't, add "modprobe st" to /etc/rc.d/rc.local. Paul. -- Paul Howarth <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
