Sounds like it could be a SCSI problem... do you find any msgs in
/vr/log/messages indicating any kind of I/O problem?
Here's something you can try to get it back online:
#!/bin/sh
echo "scsi add-single-device c 0 id 0" > /proc/scsi/scsi
where 'c' above should be replaced with the controller number (probably 0 in
your case) and the 'id' should be replaced with the id of the scanner on
that controller (0-7) So if your scanner is at ID 2 it would be:
echo "scsi add-single-device 0 0 2 0" > /proc/scsi/scsi
But having to use the above means there was most likely some type of error.
