i couldnt get the tape i was using out of the drive and our drive is at the 
back of the machine so i had to fiddle with it to get it to move the tape back. 
i am using a pretty up to date kernel and in the process of trying maybe to 
call support on the errors i get running btape test i updated the firmware on 
the tape autoloader which in turn reboots the loader. i did just check the 
dmesg using dmesg | grep scsi and i grepped mt both didnt return anything of 
significance. scsi had a message about ch0 not getting established. since 
getting the tape unjammed i am rerunning btape test will see if it works.

Did you try rebooting / restarting the archive?

Are there any errors in your dmesg about scsi or mt?

Are you using an older kernel? If so can you update that?
