Re: Sane / Scanner problem
I thought the kernel was recognizing the scanner, but after reading the boot
messages more carefully, only the card was being detected. I checked the scanner
in windows and it wasn't detected there either. So I dinked around with the hw
and got things fixed. Scanner and card are now detected and running. Thanks!
When I boot, though, I get the scanner detection message, but I get messages
detecting generic sga at scsi id 0, generic sgb at scsi id 1 ---generic sgf at
scsi id 7. In /etc/lilo.conf, I force detection with append="aha152x=0x140,9,2"
and my scanner has its scsi id set to 2. Any idea what's up with the extra
scanner messages?

use dmseg and check that the scanner was actually
detected by the scsi driver. My scanner (hp sj3c) had
to be turned on before the computer and completly
warmed up before the kernel would detect it (meant
turning on the scanner 3 minutes before booting
linux!).
Also make sure permissions for /dev/sg0 allow user or
group access, or run find-scanner as root.
