Ok, thank you. Have looked further into it. Everything I've found suggests to me that that I need to get the scsi supporting modules loaded. sg and st. However now that I have them loading via /etc/modules at a boot time, no /dev/st* devices are enabled and this message appears in the message log:
kernel: [ 17.705122] Driver 'st' needs updating - please use bus_type methods Also, and probably the clencher is that if found that the following command also locks the machine: mt -f /dev/ht0 status Thanks for your help. I'll start looking into the scsi libraries i guess. there's no-one saying they've actually got it working, just howto's.
