However in the kernel - GENERIC both device sa and device atapist are present for tape drives I am (was) assuming that the "Device not configured" was implying a need to define IRQ & addressses but I could not tell where to apply them Thanks for your assistance. -- Joe -- Greg Lehey wrote: > [Format recovered--see http://www.lemis.com/email/email-format.html] > > Your text was 120 characters wide.
