When trying to access the tape drive the following error appears in the
terminal:
/dev/nst0: Input/output error
With the following logged in /var/log/messages:
Jun 6 17:01:59 itox kernel: st0: Error 40000 (sugg. bt 0x0, driver bt

The same result is obtained with or without selinux enabled.
What needs to be done to get this tape drive working? It has worked
fine with all previous versions of Fedora Core.
Let me re-phase the question.
Has anyone been able to get an IDE tape drive to work with Fedora 7 ?
