Hi All: I'm having a problem getting a Seagate STA1701W AIT tape drive working on FC4. I previously used this drive under RedHat 7.2 and had no problems with it there. Recently I moved it to my FC4 box as the other box was getting flaky (back when stuff was made to last). Ah well. The FC4 box has a dual AMD CPU w/2GB RAM. Adaptek 29160 scsi controller with only the tape drive on it, the Seagate STA1701W tape drive as ID=5 (drive is terminated internally and uses LVD cable). Device is recognized as /dev/st0 at bootup. Kernel version is 2.6.13-1.1532-FC4. No matter what I do, I can't seem to communicate with the drive always getting a "device busy" message. I didn't find any helpful information in the list archives or by googling. Has anyone on the list used this drive under FC4 or any similar (scsi) tape drive or have a suggestion?
