Hello all,
This message probably shouldn't be here, but it's for my tape drive, and
I want to use Amanda, so it KINDA fits. :)
Anyway, I can use my Seagate STT3401A with the ide-scsi and st modules
when I insert them using modprobe. How do I get this modules loading
automatically when the system boots?
Currently, I have this in my /etc/modules.conf file (I did this
according to a posting I found in a newsgroup):
alias ide-tape off
alias scsi-hostadaptor ide-scsi
alias char-major-9 st
When I rebooted the system, the st module loaded, but ide-scsi did not.
The drive works just fine after I load the ide-scsi module manually.
The kernel is configuring the tape device under "/dev/hdd", but I think
it should be under "/dev/nst0". How do I get the kernel to not use
"/dev/hdd"?
I am running a RH9 system.
Any help would be appreciated (even if it's just a pointer to the
mailing list that this message should really be in).
Thanks,
Kanwar Sandhu
