How can I get this thing working under Gentoo with kernel 2.4.20 (vanilla-sources) ? I have enabled 'support voor SCSI Tape drives' in the kernel and I have a Adaptec AHA-2940U2/U2W SCSI-controller...

How can I make this thing work ?

Moved from Installing Gentoo.

Installing Gentoo
If you've finished the install guide, look somewhere else. But if you're still working your way through it, or just need some info before you start your install, this is the place.

Scan the output of dmesg for something like

st: Version 20020205, bufsize 32768, wrt 30720, max init. bufs 4, s/g segs 16
Attached scsi tape st0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 6, lun 0
st0: Block limits 1 - 16777215 bytes.

Found it? Fine, the kernel found your streamer.

Then try
Code:
tar czvf /dev/st0 *

to put all files in the current directory onto tape.

Verify with
Code:
tar tzvf /dev/st0



HTH,
Bernd
