Problem with sdlt drive

[Bliss, Aaron]

I wonder if the hba card is preventing any other scsi devices from
loading; is there a way to load the driver module for the tape drive
before the hba module loads?

Yep, I tried that, no dice; what is the best way to figure out what
driver the tape device is trying to use? 

Here is a list of loaded modules
lsmod | more

I've had issues with similar results on my HP DL servers.  If the tape
drive was using the cciss driver I ended up putting a line like this in
my rc.local to make sure it loaded correctly.

echo "engage scsi" > /proc/dirver/cciss/cciss0
