    All,

    How do I get SUSE 9.2 to use a SCSI tape drive?

    === Background
    I have just upgraded my tape server from SUSE 8.2 to 9.2.

    (It is a test upgrade, so I can still use the tape under 8.2)

    In 8.2, I did an insmod for the SCSI controller and a stinit.

    After that the tape drive was usable as /dev/st0.

    With 9.2 the scsi controller module is being loaded fine at boot, but
    there is not a stinit command.

    I have tried just accessing /dev/st0, but no luck.

    In /proc/scsi, I do see the "streaming device".

    Thanks
    Greg
