I have been given a HP SureStore DAT24 & Adaptec 2940U SCSI controller. I am after some advice on how to install so the system recognises it. The SCSI ID is set to 3 and it detects the tape drive during BIOS boot sequence. phpSysInfo tells me the Adadptec card is detected, but no SCSI device shows up in phpSysInfo.
Tried to do a backup, but message comes back telling me no tape is loaded. I have tape loaded, and all LED's indicating as expected, just no backup.
Any suggestions ?

You need to configure your hostadapter line in /etc/modules.conf
Replace ide-scsi with the module for your card, aic7xxx
ie
alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi
becomes
alias scsi_hostadapter aic7xxx
then do a
modprobe -r ide-scsi
modprobe aic7xxx
(you may also need to do a modprobe -r sd_mod and one other...)
Then cat /proc/scsi/scsi to see your devices that have been recognised.
