HP DAT Drive C1533A on RH9 Problems
HELP!!
I am having some major problems at present with a HP dat drive under RH9. The drive worked fine previously under RH8, but now does not work.
I am using kernel 2.4.20-30.9 on a i686 athlon intel box.
My messages log shows the below:
Apr 23 11:39:24 devsys kernel: ahc_pci:1:6:0: Host Adapter Bios disabled. Using default SCSI device parameters
Apr 23 11:39:24 devsys kernel: scsi1 : Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 6.2.8
Apr 23 11:39:24 devsys kernel: <Adaptec 2902/04/10/15/20/30C SCSI adapter>
Apr 23 11:39:24 devsys kernel: aic7850: Single Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 3/253 SCBs
Apr 23 11:39:24 devsys kernel:
Apr 23 11:39:24 devsys kernel: blk: queue c1dd0a14, I/O limit 4095Mb (mask 0xffffffff)
Apr 23 11:39:24 devsys kernel: Vendor: HP Model: C1533A Rev: 9406
Apr 23 11:39:24 devsys kernel: Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Apr 23 11:39:24 devsys kernel: blk: queue c1dd0c14, I/O limit 4095Mb (mask 0xffffffff)
Apr 23 11:39:24 devsys kernel: scsi : 1 host left.
After this there is nothing else. I have used the hardware browser to show more information and it lists the drive as /dev/st, however when I use the command mt -f /dev/st eject I get the following:
/dev/st: No such file or directory
So I try the below and get:
/dev/st0: No such device
Doing a ls -l on /dev/st0 shows the following
crw-rw---- 1 root disk 9, 0 Jan 30 2003 /dev/st0
I am in desperate need of some help on this one, there is a gold star up for grabs..
Thanks..

blk2scsa(7D) Devices blk2scsa(7D)
NAME
blk2scsa - SCSA block device emulation
DESCRIPTION
The blk2scsa module provides support services for generic block devices so that they appear to the system as devices on a virtual SCSI bus,
thus allowing them to be serviced by the sd(7D) SCSI disk driver. The blk2scsa device supports the SCSI-2 command set for Direct Access
Devices. The blk2scsa device supports multiple LUNs per physical device and creates a separate child device for each LUN. All child nodes
attach to sd(7D).
DEVICE SPECIAL FILES
Disk block special file names are located in /dev/dsk. Raw file names are located in /dev/rdsk. See sd(7D).
IOCTLS
See dkio(7I)
ERRORS
See sd(7D).
FILES
Device special files for the storage device are created in the same way as those for a SCSI disk. See sd(7D) for more information.
/dev/dsk/cntndnsn
Block files for disks.
/dev/rdsk/ctndnsn
Raw files for disks.
