sane-find-scanner gives:
sane-find-scanner: found SCSI scanner " scanner 636EL 1.50" at device 
/dev/sg0

If I try to configure the scanner for drakconf-hardware it apears to 
work but doesn't.  I still get no devices available from Xsane.  

I just tried running drakconf from a terminal window, maybe these errors 
are useful:

scannerdrake does now detect scsi scanners but don't configure them
since it don't know the right /dev/sgX to use.

[Cooker] RC3 - SCSI scanner and IDE tape problems

2002-09-20 Thread Bill Codington

I am running rc3 as an upgrade from a clean install of rc2.  The system 
looks great, these are some problems I am having.

1. Scanner not configuring.
It is a Microtek Scanmaker X6EL, detected as a 636.  It is detected 
fine.

excerpt from dmesg: ...
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem).
Mounted devfs on /dev
SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00
PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 00:0c.0
ahc_pci:0:12:0: Host Adapter Bios disabled.  Using default SCSI device 
parameters
scsi0 : Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 6.2.8

aic7850: Single Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 3/253 SCBs

  Vendor:   Model: scanner 636EL Rev: 1.50
  Type:   ScannerANSI SCSI revision: 02
Journalled Block Device driver loaded
kjournald starting.  Commit interval 5 seconds
...
It shows up in harddrake as 
Vendor: scanner 636EL
Description:
port: /dev/sg

Tried: Run config tool, selected both Microtek 636 and X6EL. Neither 
would work.  XSane gave a "no devices available" error.  Kooka simply 
showed no scanner selection.

2. Tape - Onsteam DI-30 (IDE)
In 8.2 I had this working with ide-scsi and osst modules.  This doesn't 
work now in either rc2 or 3.  No scsi device was created.  ide-tape 
seems to work, I can use the mt command to get status.  Let me know if 
I can provide further information.

Thanks,
Bill
