Everyone,

Since updating to the latest kernel (2.4.22-1.2188.nptl), I've had
problems with my HP IDE Tape drive.  Previous kernels everything worked.
~ This kernel just reports when using the generic IDE drivers that the
'device / resource is busy' if I use the IDE-SCSI emulation drivers, I
get 'Input/output error'...

I know the tape drive is OK....  Just don't know why Linux has stopped
working with the tape drive.

I'll have to test my IDE-CDRW drive now to be sure I can still make CDs.

PS: Its an HP T20i IDE Tape drive if that helps.
