When I start ytadmin after a reboot I get a message in the alerts: Error 4463 - Kernel version not supported due to a bug in the scsi generic kernel driver. Device access restricted to file based devices only. It also mentions something about not supporting 2.6.18 and needing 2.6.20. I've seen comments about tape blocksizes on some versions of the kernel. I suspect that's what the problem is. When I loaded the Fedora 2.6.20 kernel the system ran perfectly ok but the tape just kept giving me Input/Output errors, even in mt and tar. I'm not particularly surprised at that though, it is a different distribution even if it is related. -- Kevin Thorpe
