Hello,It seems your SCSI tape module loads fine but you have not loaded any module for your SCSI controller. Thus the tapedrive cannot be seen.
What kind of SCSI controller do you have? lspci might tell you what controller it is and then you can load the appropriate module.
When that is done try to insert a tape and then type `eject /dev/st0'.If that works you can use your tapedrive. Use tar, cpio, taper, mt or whatever to make your backups (see the appropriate manpages for info on how to use them).
Personally I prefer tar. Greetings, Jens Dr Gavin Seddon wrote:
Hello, I have 'modprobe st' (this is what I didn't know). Now I have /dev/scsi. However, 'lsmod|grep st st 40996 0 scsi_mod 129696 1 st'and 'cat /proc/scsi/scsi Attached devices:'. So, it may be installed but not working. How do I fix? Thanks, Gavin.

Try `modprobe st'. HTH, Jens
