If so, you need to edit your rc.modules file. (At least that is what it is called in Slackware. I don't remember ho Red Hat is set up). There will be a line #/sbin/modprobe/ftape Just uncomment it (remove the #), save the file and you should be good to go. There may be some parameters you need to add after this line for the tape drive you are using, but if you didn't need them before, you shouldn't need them this time.
