Hi everyone,
I have an aging Umax scsi scanner with a 'UDS-11' interface board. The
only thing hanging off the interface board is the scanner.
Using 2.2.12 and the g_NCR5380 module causes a hard lockup on my SMP
machine. No sys-rq or network. I have the scsi stuff setup as
modules, and install using:
[root@pc24 /root]# cat start-scsi
/sbin/modprobe g_NCR5380 ncr_irq=255 ncr_dma=255 ncr_addr=0x2c0 dtc_3181e=1
I know this used to work some versions of the kernel ago, but I don't
use the scanner frequently, and I'm afraid I don't recall exactly
which kernel version I last had success with. (I tend to run the
latest -ac patched kernel, and the last time I remember scanning
something successfully was 3+ months back now)
So, a couple of questions:
0. Anyone else having this problem? (Misery loves a friend ;-)
1. Does anyone familiar enough about the scsi subsystem care about
this driver / crippled-hardware enough for me to do some testing
to find out the last kernel version it worked with?
2. If so, what other information do you need?
3. If not, anyone have a recommendation for a cheap, smp-safe scsi
board that will run a scanner? I've seen an adaptec 2904 for a
reasonable cost?
(Criteria here are that the board should cost less than a new
linux-supported parallel-port scanner.)
Thanks for reading this far!
Mark
