Does lsmod show st as actually being loaded and in memory? Also, what is it's number of usage? Is it 1? Or is it 0?

I have the following devices in a Dell 8300 dimesion: Symbios Logic (SYM53C875) Compaq/HP Sure Works DAT DDS-4 SDT-10000 20/40 GB tape drive /var/log/messages: Aug 26 09:49:04 thor kernel: Kernel command line: ro root=LABEL=/ hdd=ide-scsi Aug 26 09:49:04 thor kernel: ide_setup: hdd=ide-scsi Aug 26 09:49:05 thor kernel: hdd: attached ide-scsi driver.

Any ideas why a mt -f /dev/st0 status would fail with the error: /dev/st0: No such device on a Redhat 9 box ?
