It is probed properly and it appears that things are going to go well: SMP: AP CPU #1 Launched! sa0 at ahc0 bus 0 target 4 lun 0 sa0: Removable Sequential Access SCSI-2 device sa0: 5.000MB/s transfers (5.000MHz, offset 11) da0 at ahc0 bus 0 target 3 lun 0 da0: Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device da0: 10.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz, offset 15), Tagged Queueing Enabled da0: 4095MB (8388315 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 522C) da1 at ahc1 bus 0 target 6 lun 0 da1: Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device da1: 20.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz, offset 8, 16bit), Tagged Queueing Enabled da1: 8683MB (17783240 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 1106C) and then if I try to use it: (sa0:ahc0:0:4:0): LOAD UNLOAD. CDB: 1b 0 0 0 1 0 (sa0:ahc0:0:4:0): NOT READY asc:3a,0 (sa0:ahc0:0:4:0): Medium not present (sa0:ahc0:0:4:0): REWIND. CDB: 1 0 0 0 0 0 (sa0:ahc0:0:4:0): NOT READY asc:3a,0 (sa0:ahc0:0:4:0): Medium not present It seems to work for a second, however, the lights go out and it eject the tape. I thought it was a bunk tape and tried others, including a cleaning tape. No go. I should add that I've attempted to set density via mt from my previous script: /usr/bin/mt -f /dev/rsa0 density 0x8C The device has worked for a couple of years and I don't believe that it has died. I could be wrong, however, I seem to have read that othes are having a very similar problem with some 8200's. 3.2 RELEASE 2x200MHz PPro 128MB RAM ahc0 is a 2940 and ahc1 is a 2940UW. The Micropolis on the same controller works fine (I'm sure it'll follow its company to the grave soon...) I've seen some recent traffic on the subject and was wondering if there was a) resolution b) additonal debugging need to get it working.
