	Is your tape drive plugged into your floppy controller cable, or do you have a high speed controller card? If you've got a controller card, try 
changing the card to a different IRQ. Does linux recognize your floppy drive Ok? (ie, did you plug in the cables right?)

	What does ftape say in your syslog (do a "dmesg" to see) after you 
insmod ftape, and after you try rewinding the tape?
