SCSI Tape Device
There have been some good posts concerning SCSI device modules that
have helped me try to correct my problem, but nonetheless, I'm still stuck.
Ok, here is more information.
When I was using kernel 2.2.xxx my SCSI tape drive worked.
Provided immediately below I am attaching those sections of dmesg output that would appear to be relevant to my SCSI device for kernel 2.2.xxx.
Linux version 2.2.17 (herbert@arnor) (gcc version 2.95.2 20000313

After updating to kernel 2.4.18, there is only 1 line related to the SCSI driver in dmesg as shown below:
Linux version 2.4.18-386 (herbert@gondolin) (gcc version 2.95.4

SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00
Reading some of the latest SCSI issues I put the only module I would think relates to my SCSI device in my modules file, rebooted.
Still it's not working. Here's the output form dmesg now:
Linux version 2.4.18-386 (herbert@gondolin) (gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease)) #2 Sun Apr 14 10:38:08 EST 2002

Can anyone help me figure this one out?
