seeing or hearing is entirely optional. If you follow my steps and be patient, you can do it all without being anywhere near the tape drive itself.. I actually prefer not to be near the damn things - way too noisy. > Bye-thanks, Ted > PS. I have a couple of streams going on this problem, so I hope it does > not get too confusing. Not confusing, except I only see one other (rather long) message from you about this. You are analyzing this too closely :) 1. it is IDE. too bad, but get over it. It should work fine. It is normal for it to make lot of noise when booting - it rewinds/retensions the tape i think. But don't confuse a SCSI drive with using SCSI emulation (software) 2. If you are running a stock Red Hat kernel it can already support scsi emulation (with a reboot after configuration). 3. Just do things I suggested, step by step and let us know when you see a problem - again you don't need to be physically near it. charles _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
