After a completely new Psyche installation on my IBM Thinkpad, to fix incurable brokenness caused by overly-ambitious apt-get settings (another story), the Symbios 53c810 host adapter in my docking station is correctly recognized at boot-time (it wasn't before), but the Seagate Scorpion DDS3 DAT drive is not. The st driver is not automatically installed. I can try 'insmod st', and it will appear in 'lsmod', but 'tar tv /dev/st0' fails with the following:
tar: /dev/st0: Cannot open: No such device tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now Before I reinstalled I had to boot the ORIGINAL kernel (errata kernels seemed to be confused by the PCI-PCI bridges in the docking station -- more brokenness?), then load the sym53c8xx_2 and st modules manually. I could then use the tape drive all I wanted. I'm in a bit of a bind. Without /dev/st0 I have no access to the backup tapes I made before reinstalling.
