I recently upgraded a file server that had been happily running on E-Smith 5.0 for years (needed more disk space). The new box is running SME 6.01. I took the Adaptec SCSI adapter out of the old machine and put into the new one. When I boot the new box the SCSI Bios starts and shows the DLT tape drive as SCSI ID 6. However, SME doesn't recognize the drive. The same combination of adapter and drive worked well for years in my E-Smith 5.0 box. Any suggestions on how to get it working in the new one?

Using Darrell May's how-to "How to add a scsi tape drive and controller after install" I've discovered that the aic7xxx module isn't being loaded. lsmod gives the following:
[root]# lsmod

sd_mod 12828 6
scsi_mod 107548 5 [st sg ide-scsi 3w-xxxx sd_mod]
The box also has a 3ware RAID Controller. Does that need the 3w-xxxx module or can I safely replace that with the aic7xxx module?
-
No don't replace the 3Ware driver, just add the aic7xxx module with insmod aic7xxx. It sems from the list that you already have st (the SCSI Tape module) being loaded, so after adding aic7xxx you should be good to go.

That did it, thanks for your help.
