You should be able to compile your kernel to just load the module at boot. Here's
some of
the info in the kernel config file.
#
# Ftape, the floppy tape device driver
#
# CONFIG_FTAPE is not set
CONFIG_AGP=y
CONFIG_AGP_INTEL=y
CONFIG_AGP_I810=y
CONFIG_AGP_VIA=y
CONFIG_AGP_AMD=y
CONFIG_AGP_SIS=y
CONFIG_AGP_ALI=y
CONFIG_DRM=y
CONFIG_DRM_TDFX=y
# CONFIG_DRM_GAMMA is not set
# CONFIG_DRM_R128 is not set
CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=y
# CONFIG_DRM_I810 is not set
# CONFIG_DRM_MGA is not set
There's another section I believe that will allow you set other things. You may
investigate this option.

| Hi,
|
| I am trying to get my Iomega QIC tape drive to work under LM8.0. I
| downloaded the ftape sources, but compilation failed due to what looks like
| errors in the source code (missing return statements etc.), even thought I
| can hardly imagine that the code is really that bad. I'd prefer to avoid
| debugging this stuff, however.
|
| But, I found the ftape modules in gzip format under
| /lib/modules/2.4.3-20mdk/kernel/drivers/char/ftape. Is it possible to unzip
| these, put them in the modules directory and simply load them? Or is this
| not a recommended course of action for some reason?
|
| TIA!
