I have Exabyte elite tape drive connected to advansys scsi card. When I do mt -f /dev/st0 it says no such device. First of all it does not detect any scsi of such hardware initially at the time of boot up. But it detected in knoppix 3.6. my debian kernel version is 2.2.20-idepci When I do dmesg it does not show any hardware of scsi but when I do lspci, It shows there. 0000:01:04.0 SCSI storage controller: Advanced System Products, Inc ABP940-U / ABP960-U (rev 03)
Can anybody help me how to resolve this problem.

This is just something which came to my mind. Take it with a pinch of salt (someone correct me if I'm wrong).
Login using knoppix. Note down the major & minor device no. by doing ls of /dev/st0 (or whatever it shows up as). Login to your regular installation & try doing a mknod (man mknod would help). -- Soumen Dass [Registered Linux User # 272639 - Linux nova 2.4.22-1.2115.nptl i686]

you are 100% right - knoppix is the standard diagnostic tool for setting up cranky hardware
