Hello, cat /etc/redhat-release 7.1 uname -a 2.4.21 Kernel has been upgraded. I do not know the history of the problem. The internal DAT drive model is : The kernel believes it is a SDT10000, when in fact it is a compaq 20/40 internal dat drive. Specifically the problem is: mt -f /dev/nst0 status /dev/nst0: No such device or address nor /dev/nst1, /dev/tape .. kind regards, Geoff.
