It'd be nice to hear what the problems are, so we can fix them.  The
instructions with 1.3.2 should be significantly better, btw.

The 1.3 kernel was configured for tapes on SCSI ids 5 and 6.  That's
fixed in 1.3.2.  Grab a 1.3.2 distribution or the patch file, and it
should Just Work.  (An RRD42 works fine for me on unit 4.)
