I finish installing 2.6.32 of backports to test:


backup:~# uname -a
Linux backup 2.6.32-bpo.5-686 #1 SMP Fri Jun 11 22:20:29 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux

backup:~# lsscsi
[2:0:0:0]    cd/dvd  Optiarc  DVD RW AD-7190A  1.05  /dev/sr0
[5:0:0:0]    disk    ATA      ST3160211AS      3.AA  /dev/sda


It draws attention to me that in this case does it not have /proc/scsi:


backup:~# ls -l /proc/scsi/*
ls: cannot access /proc/scsi/*: No such file or directory


backup:~# dmesg|grep -i ciss

backup:~# ls -l /dev/cciss/*

But I do not see in dmesg some information regarding the tape driver or
the changer :-(

Thanks for your reply.

Regards,
Daniel
