CentOS does work for me, but I had to add the following to /etc/rc.d/rc.local
# create sg devices and turn hardware spectralogic hardware compression off
modprobe sg
ln -s /dev/sg0 /dev/changer
mt -f /dev/nst0 compression 0
mt -f /dev/nst1 compression 0
amcleanup Daily
If you don't do the first two statements, you won't have the device needed
for mtx. The mt statements that turn off compression are worth a small
fortune in consulting fees: I defy anyone to find the value 0 in the man pages.
Actually you can find it in the man pages.

I have 1 tape drive + 6 tape slots, but they still advised me to use a
more recent kernel.
Strangely mtx was not a requirement for BRU, only mt. I do have it
installed anyway and I certainly will need it for Amanda.
