[newbie] SCSI Scanner problem
Hi all Since upgrading to kernel 2.6.3-15, I am unable to access my SCSI scanners. I have a Benq 610s on a Symbios 53c810 card and a Canon FS4000 on a Tekram TRM-S1040 card. Under the 2.4 kernel I could reinitialise these using the rescan-scsi-bus.sh shell script. Now however, I cannot access them at all, and even rebooting does not recognise them. Proc/scsi/scsi is empty, as is /dev/scsi/. Harddrake shows the scsi cards present with modules sym53c8xx and dc395x_trm respectively. Can anyone advise me where to look next please? I don't use the scanners very often, but would like to have them working again. Even trying to boot back into the old kernel failed with a kernel panic because the modules were configured for the newer kernel.

Modprobe the two modules as root enabled them to connect and are now identified and usable. # cat /proc/scsi/scsi Attached devices: Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 02 Lun: 00 Vendor: CANONModel: IX-40015GRev: 1.07 Type: Scanner ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: ColorModel: FlatbedScanner_4 Rev: 0107 Type: Scanner ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Thought it might help someaone else with similar problems.
