Subject: Kernel 2.5.75 OK but tape backup not work

Hi

My problem was resuelt (I installed module inits again), now I can see all
modules loaded, but I have problems, when I want to see my backup, I can't ,
I execute tar tvf /dev/st0 and the follwing message appear:

tar: /dev/st0: Cannot open: No such device
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

I believe that my server not know this device, but I execute lsmod the
driver of my SCSI card is loaded:

scsi_mod 115892 2 dc395x,ide_scsi

I need to know that others test i can do it.

Thanks, You are very kind.

modprobe st
