My tips:

1. Try to use the mt -f status command
for all tape devices, which configured on yout system.

2. Run the /sbin/stinit or somethning similar program.

My questions:
What is your dmesg output?

do you have current drivers?

I've never heard of anyone hanging an Ultrium drive off a Linux box, but hey, its a SCSI device right?

we hang an ulterim off a linux box here in the office (NetServer LH3). No issues.

What problems are you getting? you're post isn't exactally very descriptive.
