I too have encountered encountered problems after upgrading my kernel.
My problem is worse. Sometimes, after a reboot, iscan sees the scanner
and sometimes it does not. No idea why. When iscan sees the scanner
once, it continues to see it after closing and re-opening iscan. But I
have to hold my breath every time that I reboot my computer. I had no
problems using iscan (with the designated plugin) in the Sarge
environment (kernel 2.6.8-2).
Have you tried posting a message on the Epson AVASYS bulletin board?
I tried, but crashed at Square One; I could not persuade the bulletin
board to accept my message :-(.
If you can coax the bulletin board to accept your query, I would
welcome being told how to do that.
Good luck
