I'm trying to get a scsi tape device (Sony SDX-D500V) working on my dell 2450 running centos 4.2. I can see the device (ch1, id2) using the dell bois raid utility, but once booted into linux I can't see any mention of it in the logs or dmesg.

Do you know if the generic kernel (2.6.9-22.0.1.ELsmp) supports this tape device? Can anyone give me any pointers in getting this device working.

Regards,
Marc
