LTO3 tape drive not detected

[Matthew Jacob]

Hmm, haven't had real drives to play with in a while, and don't recall 
ever attaching one through an MPT. Do you have another SCSI adapter?

Autosense fail for mpt means that the MPT controller firmware was unable 
to retrieve sense data for a command. We just give up on that.

You might get into the MPT BIOS settings and set narrow/async for the 
device just to see if that will work.
