It should be in 
/lib/modules//kernel/drivers/scsi/


try 'modprobe aic7xxx', if the driver does not exist you may need to
compile your own kernel to activate the support.

The module you need is aic7xxx

Thanks, but where do I get the module for the scsi adapter? Adaptec 2940.
I looked in /lib/modules but could not find anything there.

The module depends on your SCSI card

modprobe

Inspection of /var/log/dmesg suggests that the SCSI card is not seen. How do I add
SCSI support to the kernel?

Hi Johan

I've got a Sony DDS3 drive running on an Adaptec 2940 here under Woody, so it 
is definitely possible.

Two things need to be working: SCSI and SCSI tape support.

Have a look in /var/log/dmesg:

(a) Does your SCSI adapter get detected ?

  - if not, you need to add support for your adapter to the kernel

(b) Does the SCSI adapter recognise the tape drive ?

  - if not, this is likely to be a cabling or setup problem, which is unlikely
if all that has happened is a software upgrade

(c) Does the tape drive get recognised by the kernel ? (look for "st0")

  - if not, you need to add SCSI tape support to the kernel
