Then I decided to upgrade. I swapped out the motherboard and got a 64 bit cpu and upgraded the OS (complete new install). I now have Fedora 15 running on the box.
IIRC the "st" module may not be loaded automatically on newer systems. Try a "lsmod | grep st" and "modprobe st" (if it isn't listed). If that fixes it, there are several ways to get the module loaded (try that and post back the results).
It almost looks like the device changed from /dev/st4 to /dev/st0. Is that possible?
Yeah, I don't know why it would ever have been st4; the SCSI tape devices have always been numbered starting with 0 in my experience (I think I first used a SCSI tape device on Linux in 1996).
An alternate way to always access a specific tape drive by a fixed path is via /dev/tape/by-id.
