Onstream DI-30 not responding 2.6

Hi

I'm trying to use my Onstream DI-30 (IDE) tape device with Kernel 2.6.0-test1. When trying to access the drive using the old 2.2 kernels and 2.4 these commands worked fine

bash-2.05# mt -f /dev/nht0 status
/dev/nht0: No such device
bash-2.05# mt -f /dev/ht0 status
/dev/ht0: No such device
bash-2.05# mt -f /dev/hdd status
/dev/hdd: No such device or address
bash-2.05# mt -f /dev/hdc status
/dev/hdc: No such device or address

While they now are showing ugly errors.

This is a part of the boot log

VP_IDE: IDE controller at PCI slot 0000:00:07.1
VP_IDE: chipset revision 16
VP_IDE: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx
VP_IDE: VIA vt82c686a (rev 22) IDE UDMA66 controller on pci0000:00:07.1

    ide0: BM-DMA at 0xc000-0xc007, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:DMA
    ide1: BM-DMA at 0xc008-0xc00f, BIOS settings: hdc:pio, hdd:DMA

hda: WDC WD205BA, ATA DISK drive
anticipatory scheduling elevator
ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14
hdd: OnStream DI-30, ATAPI TAPE drive

Thanks in advance for any tips on a solution for this problem.

Hi,

ide-tape driver is broken right now in 2.6.
Config option for it is commented out because
it even doesn't compile (easy to fix).

I can help a bit if somebody wants to fix this driver. --
