Look for entries similar to:<BR /><BR />st 27760 0 (autoclean)<BR />scsi_mod 97268 5 [st sr_mod sg aic7xxx ide-scsi]<BR /><BR />st is the SCSI Tape module:<BR /><BR />If it is not loaded, you can insmod the st module manually to see if this cures your problem.<BR /><BR />You should see in dmesg or /var/log/messages something like (though this example shows a DLT, not a DAT):<BR /><BR />scsi1 : Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 6.2.36<BR /><ADAPTEC 2940="" ultra="" scsi="" adapter=""><BR />aic7880: Ultra Single Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 16/253 SCBs<BR /><BR />(scsi1:A:3): 10.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz, offset 15)<BR />Vendor: Quantum Model: DLT4000 Rev: D782<BR />Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02<BR /><BR />If you don't see the entry for your SCSI interface, then its likely that that module is not loaded either. Subsequently you won't see the entry for your DAT drive either.<BR /><BR />Col.</ADAPTEC> Sun, 04 Apr 2004 11:08:49 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-linux/mandrake-and-ml370/m-p/3238652#M11103 Colin Topliss 2004-04-04T11:08:49Z
