Re: [cobalt-developers] help: cobalt 2 backup hangs and needs reboot

[Frank Mattes <mattes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Byron,

many thanks, I will try.
Do you know why the cobalt gets locked ?
Another question, can I use a Adaptec 2940 SCSI card + local tape. I 
have fitted a spare card, but don't know how to activate (do I need a 
new kernel ?)

Thanks for all your thoughts

Frank
