[PLUG] HELP!! Scanner device not working (hardware going offline)
|
I'm at my wits end with my SCSI scanner.
It used to work with xsane software. I have changed a few things since
I used it, like adding the LVM Log Vol Man, and updating Gnome to 1.4,
Upgrading Redhat to 7.
I've just bought another SCSI adapter, because I thought that might be
the problem. Nice new 2906 adapter, but same symptoms still!
When the PC is booted up, into Gnome, Xsane loads first time, lets me
get to the "preview" window. The scanner is accessed doing the preview,
but no preview is displayed. Subsequent attempts to either scan or do
another preview just brings an error msg something to do with "invalid
argument".
I've looked at the /proc info, and syslog. I had a look at the
interrupts thinking that the 2nd SCSI adapter (my 2906) might not be
getting resources although it is recognised at bootup. Here I can see
it sharing an IRQ with the USB thingy. I'm not using USB at all (driver
was installed with RH7 upgrade), so I can get rid of that if necessary.
Here's the info I've gathered -

1: 596 XT-PIC keyboard
2: 0 XT-PIC cascade
5: 6515 XT-PIC aic7xxx

You can see, the SCSI card is having a difficult time with the scanner
for some reason. Perhaps it's the scanner itself that's the problem??
