rh8.0 rescue mode + /dev/st0
is there a way to access an scsi-tape (/dev/st0) when booting from the rh8.0 install disk to rescue mode? (btw this works fine using the SUSE install disk and I already recoverd a rh system using the suse install cd)
ASKER
That's fair enough, but assume that i have to rebuild/restore a complete system after a damaged harddisk. Using the SUSE disk I can access /dev/st0 without having to load a module from the disk (the kernel on their rescue-cd has all relevant modules included). I've checked the files on the RedHat rescue images and to me it looks like that they simply forgot to include /lib/st.o.

It is possible that the path is just different, or that the module is not loaded.
If you check /etc/modules.conf it will show you what module it is loading for that device, you could load it yourself (insmod modulename) and then access the device.
