Hi, I have upgrade a server with a SONY IDE TAPE from RedHat 7.3 (kernel 2.4.*) to FC4 (kernel 2.6.13-*) and the ide tape not work. I have load the ide-scsi module (via grub with hdd=ide-scsi) and I use the /dev/st0 device. When the modules is load the tape is detect. The 'mt -f /dev/st0 status' works. The 'tar tvf /dev/st0' works (with a old tape, write from rh7.3). The 'tar cvf /dev/st0 /etc' DOES NOT WORK, the command seems to be stopped and tape not work Is this a common issue? I must pass some parameter to ide-scsi modules? Now I have install FC1 in order to use the ide tape ... and the tape work properly. Please tell me some suggest. Many thanks.
I have the same problem, see my bugzilla entry: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=150335 The only work around I have found is to turn off DMA for the tape drive. Craig
