I am using kernel 2.4.16 and have IDE TAPE built into the kernel. At boot I get a lot of info concerning the tape drive but when I attempt to write to the tape drive it locks the entire system up and I have to press the reset key (something like tar -zcpvf /dev/ht0 / as an example-not the actual command).
I know this is not much info but does someone know what is going on or what information can I supply which might shed more light onto the subject? I am just trying to keep this email short without copying a lot of the dmesg output (There must be a page on the IDE Tape!). Lance
