I found this link [1] which suggests trying a newer version of the cciss
driver. Both kernel 2.6.26 and 2.6.32 has cciss 3.6.20. So I looked for
a newer version here [2] and in particular by compiling the source code
provided by this [3] package, but I never had success in recognizing the
tape drive and changer.

It draws attention not to find version 4.6.22 that it seems to be
available for SuSE. In the HP site I only see this version for SuSE
x86_64, but not for Debian. In addition, I am using i386 architecture.

I found some previous messages in this list of Martin Mielke, João
Carneiro and Andy Hughes using HP Storagework 1/8 with Bacula. If you
are reading me, I wonder if the scenario used to test the autoloader was
the same as mine (Debian GNU/Linux Lenny with the autoloader connected
via a SAS RAID controller). If so, I would be thankful for any
commentary about something that I might be missing to do.

Thanks for your reply.

Regards,
Daniel
