Re: What happened to my tape drive?

I just did a clean install on Cent OS 5. I have an
Adaptec 16160 scsi card and an Exabyte VXA3 tape
drive. At BIOS boot, the tape drive probes at position 11.

There is no /dev/nst0 or /dev/st0 entries in /dev.

While I don't know Cent OS 5, but a question. Is the st module loaded?
(st = scsi tape)
