Re: tape drive
If you boot your system at the first boot, Linux is designed in a way to detect the hardware and configure accordingly. This is mostly true for all cases where the devices are supported by Linux and you can check the devices supported at http://www.redhat.com
If this doesn't happen, then i would suggest that you check the following
1. Check your hardware vendor's site for Linux drivers and install instructions.
If none of the things listed above work for you, which is highly unlikely, then you can create drivers yourself. Try exploring http://www.tldp.org and search for information on how to build drivers.
Let us know, how things go for you.

Re: tape drive
Defaultly Linux Machines should autosense and configure the Tape driver into the kernel when it is booting.
You can check whether the tape is configured by using dmesg or seeing /var/log/messages file.
If not you need check with the vendor.

Re: tape drive
If it is a single tape drive, have you done a mt -f /dev/st0 load before trying to write on it ?

Re: tape drive
I am connecting a HP surestore DLT tape library using a SCSI drive. I have installed Redhat linux 9.1. Redhat detects the Drive but not the library. It doesn't detect any DLTs. Kindly help.
