RE: (Linux Tape List) - Problem to compile ftape-docs -> Now "ftmt: /dev/ftape: no such device"

Thanks for your help,

I have find an easier way to resolve my problem yesterday, an RPM package
exist in the download section and the installation is fine !

But I have exactly the same problem than before I try to install Tarball
(Ftape 4.x) version.

I explain:

I use Linux Red Hat 7.3 (Kernel 2.4.20)
Pentium 233 Mhz MMX (i586 platform)
Hewlett Packard Colorado T1000 Tape Drive (Connected on the Standard Floppy
Controller - Intel 430TX Chipset MB)

If I use the integrated Ftape version (2.09 I think) of the Kernel 2.4, the
system doesn't recognize my tape drive. I try with the command "ftmt -f
/dev/ftape status" to test the tape but I receive the error -> ftmt:
/dev/ftape: no such device. I have also try with many other path like:
/dev/qft0, /dev/zqft0, ... but the same result

With the RPM package of Ftape 4.02 the problem persist... and I cannot
install Ftape 4.04 from Tarball package. But I think if I can install Ftape
4.04 the problem will be the same at the end.

My new question is where I can view the configuration (I/O, IRQ, ...) ? But
the default installation should be set to use the standard floppy
controller...

And do you know if a tool exist to scan or probe a Floppy Tape in Linux to
ensure me that tape is recognize !


Thanks

Hi. do you have sgml packages installed? It looks like those are
required to compile the docs. check the readme or install files to see
exactly what you need.
