Hallo, i am trying to get my Seagate STT28000A, IDE Streamer to work with amanda. In the config file i entered "dev/ht0" for raw device and "dev/nht0" for no rewinding device. Is my streamer not supported by the Mandrake Kernel 2.4.7? Do i have to set up something special in Bios? I compiled my own kernel with IDE Tape support as module and i also tried to compile it as a kerneldriver. In the forwarded message you can see the errors reported by amanda.
Please Help.
