(1)  Is this an IDE version or SCSI version.

I have the same problem with my IDE HP tape drive.  Though with an
older kernel.

I need some more information on this!

(1)  Motherboard type?
(2)  Tape drive model (HP Surestore, etc)?
(3)  Interface type?  IDE / SCSI
(4)  Module used in kernel (IDE-TAPE, IDE-SCSI, etc)?
(5)  What happens if you do "mt load" or "mt status" in the
/var/log/messages file.
(6)  Have you tried loading the module manually?

Sorry, we just need more information as to the problem.
What you have given us is not specific enough.

Thanks,
James Kosin
