(2930??) SCSI device access in 2.4.22-1.2149 (was Re: "No such device or address" for /dev/st0

[Charlie Sauer]

No one responded to my prior posting, so I assumed that this was not a
widespread problem and that it would be "automagically" fixed, since it
definitely seems like a regression.

The problems are more than just tape. I've put a different 2930 in a
different Fedora machine, with an HP 9200 CD-RW attached to the 2930.

Another reason why I think this is a regression is that the Fedora install
CD #1 seems happy to boot all the way with this configuration. However, if I
try to access the /dev/cdrom or /dev/scd0, the device can't be found. If I
try to dd from /dev/sg0, the device can't be opened.

Any suggestions/fixes coming?
