Have you got basic SCSI and the necessary drivers installed?
First run lspci and see if your SCSI adapter is there.
Then cat /proc/scsi/scsi and see if your tape drive is recognized.
You can also look at the boot messages in /var/log/messages and
see if the SCSI stuff started OK. If not you need to look at the
kernal configuration, and or the modules.
