IDE Tape problems

[Roberto Fichera]

Hi All on the list,

I'm trying to perform a backup on HP Colorado 8Gb but
I was unable to get it working on last FC1 kernel.
I've the same problem on another box with an HP Colorado 14Gb,
both have the same kernel. I've tested both IDETAPE unit
and as expect they are working well on standard LK 2.4.19.
Does any one know how can I get it working on FC1 ?

Thanks in advance.

Below there is my dmesg log:
