Hi Leon,

# ioscan -fnC tape
# insf -e

the driver for the tape drive, i.e stape has to be build in the kernel for the OS to install the drivers for the device.

you can go to sam -->Peripheral devics --> Tape Drives -->Add / Diagonise missing tape drive.

with best wishes

hi,

did you try,
# ioscan -fnC tape

and is the description, C1537A

if still unknown, do this to create the device file:
# insf -H

still unknown, try re-booting.

regards.

Hi Naveei,

I did try the method you give to me. Same result and do I need to go sam to build kernel ?

Hi leon,

Try adding the device in the way joseph has suggested. If its still not working, try adding it through SAM...

Mostly, the driver for the tape, stape won't build into the kernel. or do you find any other device on the same 0/12/0/0.4.0

Hi Jeseph and Naveei,

I did the command you suggest me do but nothing happen. I also reboot serval times. If i go to sam and in the kernel configruation and I see "stape" both out and do I need Build new kernel ? how about schgr ? do i need bule new kernel also ? Please advice.

Thanks
Leon

i guess you have to rebuilt a new kernel with the stape option and reboot.

go to sam -> Kernel Configuration -> Drivers -> look and highlight stape -> Action -> Add Driver(s) to Kernel -> reboot.

perform ioscan -fnC tape to confirm if the device is still unknown.
