Its included with kernel-BOOT-2.2.5 though. Is this an oversight, or is there another SCSI device I can use to access a DAT SCSI tape drive? I'm running the latest errata kernel, but st.o is missing from the CDROM distributed version as well. Do I have to recompile the kernel just to get a valid st.o module? Also, I can't figure out how to change my userid -- the address I used previously does not exist anymore, but there only seems to be an option to change my password.
it's very likely that it's compiled into the kernel.
In fact, it is - from the source RPM: kernel-2.2-i386-BOOT.config:CONFIG_CHR_DEV_ST=m kernel-2.2-i386-smp.config:CONFIG_CHR_DEV_ST=y kernel-2.2-i386.config:CONFIG_CHR_DEV_ST=y kernel-2.2-i586-smp.config:CONFIG_CHR_DEV_ST=y kernel-2.2-i586.config:CONFIG_CHR_DEV_ST=y kernel-2.2-i686-smp.config:CONFIG_CHR_DEV_ST=y kernel-2.2-i686.config:CONFIG_CHR_DEV_ST=y
