RedHat 9 / Seagate Tape

["Thomas Muehleisen" <thomas@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am currently working with RedHat 9 after upgrading from RedHat 7 and we are considering the enterprise version.

However, after installing RedHat 9 our Seagate 20GB IDE tape drive no longer functions.

The tape begins to operate and within 10 seconds hangs the machine. The tape drive functions correctly prior to RedHat 9

I have tried it in both the master and slave positions with the same result.

Did something change with RedHat 9? Do I need to replace the tape with a different brand?

 

Thanks
