>Environment:

HP C1536A SCSI DAT drive
Adaptec 2940 Ultra SCSI host adapter
multiple different tapes

>Description:

Since a recent kernel upgrade, the tape drive has consistently failed to
read either existing or newly written tapes.  SCSI errors:

st0(ahc0:3:0): ststart st0(ahc0:3:0): Open complete
st0(ahc0:3:0): 
ststrategy st0(ahc0:3:0): ststart st0(ahc0:3:0): scsi_cmd
st0(ahc0:3:0): scsi_done
st0(ahc0:3:0): calling private err_handler()
st0(ahc0:3:0): private err_handler() returned -1
st0(ahc0:3:0): MEDIUM ERROR info:8000 asc:11,0 Unrecovered read error

This occurs on multiple tapes so we have either a kernel problem or a drive
failure.  We don't have access to a second drive to eliminate the drive
failure case.  As this started coincident with a kernel change....

>How-To-Repeat:

Load any written tape (this takes too long).  Attempt to read the tape.
