Hello all.
I am trying to get ftape set up for a Trakker 250,
the parallel port tape drive. I understand that, while
this kernel (2.2.9) allows one to enable ftape, this
built-in ftape does not work with the parallel port
Trakker. I recompiled the kernel, selected "no" for
the ftape, recompiled the modules and installed them.
(also selected Y for paride.o ; I do not use the
parallel port for printing and would like to have it
set only for use with this tape drive...) I then installed
the rpm 4.02-1 ftape package and rebooted. insmod ftape
gives an error of "cannot find that module". Found the
reason. The installation of this rpm package put ftape.o
and the others modules in /lib/modules/2.0.35/misc/
but my current modules are in /lib/modules/2.2.9/ .
I tried rebuilding the package with the source
rpm, but got the following error.
Is there a painless workaround?
Thanks!
