Hi Everybody,
I'm new to this list and hope this question has not been posted a million
times before.
I am trying to get the IOmege ditto 2Gb external tape drive to work on my
computer running RedHat linux 6.0.
The following packages are already running:
>lsmod
Module Size Used by
nfsd 150936 8 (autoclean)
lockd 30856 1 (autoclean) [nfsd]
sunrpc 52356 1 (autoclean) [nfsd lockd]
parport_pc 5012 1 (autoclean)
lp 4412 1 (autoclean)
parport 7060 1 (autoclean) [parport_pc lp]

cs4232 2440 0
ad1848 15920 0 [cs4232]
uart401 5968 0 [cs4232]
I did download the latest ftape version (and read the warnings, so I'm
trying ftape-4.03-pre2), but everything I try goes wrong. Here's what
I tried so far:
1) compiling ftape 4.03-pre2:
This result in the compile-time error message:
>fdc-io.c: In function dc_interrupt_wait':
>fdc-io.c:433: structure has no member named imeout'
>fdc-io.c:454: structure has no member named imeout'
>make[2]: *** [fdc-io.o] Error 1
>make[2]: Leaving directory /usr/src/ftape-4.03-pre-2/ftape/lowlevel'
>make[1]: *** [modules] Error 2
>make[1]: Leaving directory /usr/src/ftape-4.03-pre-2/ftape'
>make: *** [all] Error 2
Even after recompiling my kernel, with all sources left in place this
message persists.
2) installing ftape 4.02 with rpm (I know about the bug's concerning the
external backpack devices, but I just wanted to get ANY reaction from my
tape):
* During install I get a whole bunch of unresolved symbol(s), but I believe
that the documentation states that I can ignore these. The full list can
be found at the end of this mail. Despite the messages rpm -qa reports that
the package has been installed.
* When trying insmod (or modprobe) to load ftape I then get the following
message:
>modprobe ftape
/lib/modules/2.2.5-15/misc/ftape.o: invalid parameter ft_fdc_driver
even though it is defined in /etc/conf.modules by:
alias char-major-27 zftape
options ftape ft_fdc_driver=bpck-fdc,none,none,none
I even tried modprobe ftape ft_fdc_driver=bpck-fdc,none,none,none, but
this resulted in the same error.
I do not know what else I could try. I read through some history of this
mailing list, the ftape-FAQ list and other documentation, but there seems
to be no more information. Can anybody help me? Please?
Thank for reading to this whining ;-)
