Subject: scsi tape drive.

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

Here is the error in action:
# mt -f /dev/st0 status
/dev/st0: Device not configured
Thanks,
