The drive seems to be detecting correctly. ast0: Tape at ata0-slave PI04 I compiled the kernel with the line device atapist # ATAPI tape drives But after I send a command for the tape e.g. mt -f /dev/nast0 rewind, dump -0aunf /dev/nast0 /tmp, .. the system hangs after finishing the command. I can kill the process with an ABRT or KILL (sometimes I have to reboot, but that is may be my lack of knowledge). After I get the dump process stopped I ran restore and verified that the dump was successful. I used mt -f /dev/nast0 status and got the output below. This is the only command I can run without the system stopping. I have tried to use /dev/ast0, but that does the same if not worse.

I would really appreciate some help. I am stuck. I can't seem to find any info.
