Hello Ciao,

I have exactally the same problem on Fedora 3. The driver i20_block do not 
reconized the SCSI Tape. So, after some tests I recompile de kernel, with 
version 2.6.11 from fedora source, and desmark i20 drivers and mark dpt 
drivers.

After compilation all devices are detected and worked corretctally.
