Is there something special I need to do? I'm getting the following error messages: sd1(ahc0:4:0): Direct-Access sd1(ahc0:4:0): ILLEGAL REQUEST asc:24,0 Invalid field in CDB sd1 could not mode sense (4). Using ficticious geometry sd1(ahc0:4:0): NOT READY asc:4,0 sd1(ahc0:4:0): Logical unit not ready, cause not reportable sd1(ahc0:4:0): ILLEGAL REQUEST asc:24,0 Invalid field in CDB sd1 could not mode sense (4). Using ficticious geometry sd1(ahc0:4:0): MEDIUM ERROR asc:1c,0 Defect list not found sd1: error reading primary partition table reading fsbn 0 (sd1 bn 0; cn 0 tn 0 sn 0) I've read through quite a bit of the e-mail on "jaz" and know that other people have had the same problems, but I didn't see anything that had a solution. Do I need to upgrade my kernel sources? How do I format a new cartridge? What's the real difference between this release and the newest release 2.1.5? Why are the release numbers going backwards. Is this 2.2 Release some sort of test development release? Thanks in advance, John Matthews jmatthew@fore.com
