Problem of changing DDS tape drive in Openserver 5.0.2 box

[eepico]

Hail~~

Few days ago I brought back my very old Openserver 5.0.2 box out for testing purpose. I removed its old DDS-1 tape drive and installed a new Compaq SDT-9000 DDS-3 drive in. After mkdev tape and selected the DAT model, kernel was rebuilt and the drive worked properly after reboot.

The day after, my partner suddenly removed the new DDS drive using mkdev tape and wanted to change the model into Generic SCSI-1/SCSI-2. But the system failed to rebuild the kernel and I also couldn't build the drive as DAT model back as before. We both got the same error messages shown below:

bash-2.03# mkdev tape

Any hints what's the problem??
