Hi!
I upgraded the kernel from 1.3.74 to 1.3.9[57]; now I cannot access my DAT drive anymore. I do > tar cvf /dev/tape some_file (/dev/tape is a soft link to st0) The light of the DAT drive flushes about 5 times. From then on DAT drive sits there and do nothing :-( The tar process hangs in D state. First I thought, that the new st driver make the problem; but I compiled 1.3.95 with the st sources from 1.3.74 (I hope I got all the files which belong to the st driver :-O But that wasn't the problem; maybe the new (3.0) aic7xxx driver is the problem?
Hardware: Asus P55TP4N, 512kB BurstCache, Pentium-166, 128MB Adaptec 2940UW 3c509 3c590 (not used) 2x Quantum XP34300W (4GB fastwide) (one intern, one extern) NEC CD-ROM DRIVE:222 (not used until now) HP HP35480A DAT II drive
The DAT is on the external bus (wide->scsi2 cable :-{ but I also tried it intern.

The st driver is now (1.3.97) a module. The Medium not present is ok, because I removed the medium from the DAT (the tar process is still in D state)
Thanks in advance
Bernhard.
