Bug 218816

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux major release.  Product Management has requested further
review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux Major release.  This request is not yet committed for
inclusion.

Fixed in anaconda-11.1.2.37-1.

A fix for this issue should have been included in the packages contained in the
most recent snapshot (partners.redhat.com) for RHEL5.1.  

Requested action: Please verify that your issue is fixed as soon as possible to
ensure that it is included in this update release.

After you (Red Hat Partner) have verified that this issue has been addressed,
please perform the following:
1) Change the *status* of this bug to VERIFIED.
2) Add *keyword* of PartnerVerified (leaving the existing keywords unmodified)

If this issue is not fixed, please add a comment describing the most recent
symptoms of the problem you are having and change the status of the bug to FAILS_QA.

Issue Tracker and I will change the status for you.  If you need assistance

I don't have any tape devices handy ... 

bnocera: do you have such devices handy to verify this fix?  Is this something
NEC could provide test feedback on?

I don't, and I'm not a support person anymore (and haven't been for the past 8
months). Jose?

Moving back to ASSIGNED based on NEC feedback that snap#4 still exhibits this
problem.

If anyone has hardware, I would be interested to see the output of the following
command from the shell on tty2 with snap4:

PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/anaconda python -c 'import isys, kudzu ; print
kudzu.probe(kudzu.CLASS_TAPE, kudzu.BUS_UNSPEC, kudzu.PROBE_SAFE) ; print
isys.tapeDriveList()'

For some reason kudzu is unable to determine the device associated with this
tape drive.

Please run the following command from tty2 in rescue mode and attach the full,
unedited output:

for d in /sys/bus/scsi/devices/* ; do
 pushd $d ;
 echo -e "model: $(cat model)\nvendor: $(cat vendor)\ntype: $(cat type)" ;
 ls ; popd ;
done
