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

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
