I've added a DLT tape library to a system that already had a DLT tape  
drive.

The problem: dmesg shows only one tape drive, the original.  The tape
library's tape drive is not showing up.

$ sudo camcontrol devlist
<DEC TL800    (C) DEC 0326>        at scbus0 target 0 lun 0 (pass0,ch0)
<QUANTUM DLT7000 1E48>             at scbus1 target 5 lun 0 (sa0,pass1)
<HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-H10A JL02>    at scbus3 target 0 lun 0 (pass2,cd0)

I have tried a 'camcontrol rescan all' but I don't get the tape drive  
for the
tape library (which I'm guessing with be sa1).

The following shows the expected results for tape labels from within
the tape library

[dan@ngaio:~] $ sudo chio -f /dev/ch0 status -v

I have used this tape library before, and seen the tape drive:

But this time, something is failing. Perhaps me.  :)

 From dmesg:

The tape library is connected to this:

ahc0: <Adaptec 2944 Ultra SCSI adapter> port 0x9400-0x94ff mem  
0xfb400000-0xfb400fff irq 16 at device 9.0 on pci0
ahc0: [GIANT-LOCKED]

The external tape drive is connected to this:
ahc1: <Adaptec 2940 Ultra SCSI adapter> port 0xa400-0xa4ff mem  
0xfbb00000-0xfbb00fff irq 18 at device 13.0 on pci0
