Hello, I'm setting up a server with a Seagate Travan 20 IDE Tape drive and I'm having difficulty using it. RH7.2 loads the ide-tape module by default, but all the documentation and software I have wants to use a SCSI tape. I read that the ide-tape module locks the drive, which only a reboot without loading the ide-tape module (instead load ide-scsi) will cure. How do I do this? modules.conf doesn't have any mention of ide-tape. Is this a boot option? Also, i'm using a Promise FastTrack100Tx2 raid controller to boot with, so i have to send this boot parameter string in already (ide0=0x1f0,0x3f6,14 ide1=0x170,0x376,15 ide2=0 ide3=0 ide4=0 ide5=0 ide6=0 ide7=0 ide8=0 ide9=0) in addition to loading the proprietary 'ft' module from promise.
