IDE Tape Drive on FC4

[davidj]

I cannot get a SONY SDX-430V AIT drive (with IDE interface) working on FC4 (AMD64).

It is recognised at boot assigned to hdd, and can be seen by Hardware Browser (KDE) with correct name and as device /dev/hdd. mt cannot see it and it cannot be assigned to /dev/tape.

I also have a (too small) SCSI drive which appears as /dev/st0, can be assigned to /dev/tape and is seen by mt.

Any ideas how to get the IDE drive working please?

You can try /dev/ht0. This is the standard for IDE tape-drives

modprobe ide-scsi
then look in /var/log/messages wat st number has been assigned to the drive (st1 a gues)
