From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.2) Gecko/20040308 Description of problem: kernel:2.6.9-5 Platform: All with IDE interface Platform tested: PE600SC BIOS: =A09 Tape drive: Travan40 (Seagate STT3401A) OS detects the Tape drive which can be verified by viewing the hwbrowser or /etc/sysconfig/hwconf. But none of the device files : /devhdb /dev/ht0 /dev/nht0 are created. mt -f /dev/hdb gives the following : /dev/hdb: No such file or directory Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.9-1.906 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install RHEL 4 pre-RC2 (2.6.9-5) with Travan40 Tape drive 2. View the hwbrowser, /etc/sysconfig/hwconf 3. Check the o/p of: a) ls /dev/hdb b) mt -f /dev/hdb status Actual Results: ide tape drives are not made available for use. Expected Results: Autodetection and loading of the ide-scsi or (preferably) ide-tape driver so that the tape drive is ready for use. Additional info:
