I don't know what is wrong with this, so I figured I'd ask before I
spend some more time on it.

I got a machine with a 2.4.10 kernel on it and I am trying access the
scsi tape drive, but I get the error "/dev/st0: Device not configured".

Anyway, here is some information about the setup:

dmesg:

*Note the attached scsi tape st0 at scsi0

I have a /dev/st0 device and it is set up correctly according to the
linux 2.4 SCSI-HOW-TO
(http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/SCSI-2.4-HOWTO/dnames.html)

# stat /dev/st0
   File: "/dev/st0"
   Size: 0 Filetype: Character Device
   Mode: (0660/crw-rw----) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 6/
  disk)

Modify: Tue May 5 12:32:27 1998(01288.04:03:37)
Change: Wed Feb 9 08:18:59 2000(00643.07:17:05)

Here is the error in action:

# mt -f /dev/st0 status
/dev/st0: Device not configured

Thanks,
