Please cc: me on replies. Any tips getting a USB scanner to work with an HP Omnibook 500 laptop? I'm using the UMAX Astra 3400, which is listed as supported on the USB Scanners under Linux page.[1] I'm running kernel 2.4.20[2] and Debian unstable.
This is the error I get: hub.c: new USB device 00:07.2-2, assigned address 2 usb.c: USB device not accepting new address=2 (error=-110) hub.c: new USB device 00:07.2-2, assigned address 3 usb.c: USB device not accepting new address=3 (error=-110) lspci reports: 00:07.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation. 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 USB (rev 01) /proc/interupts shows usb-uhci on IRQ 5, with the number of interrupts increasing regularly. Other USB devices work fine for the most part. The Linux USB FAQ[3] suggests that this is a problem with the BIOS, or with Linux communicating with the BIOS. I tried the solutions recommended there: switching off ACPI, disabling APIC (which apparently is disabled anyway[4]), looking at BIOS settings (there doesn't appear to be one that is relevant). I also tried removing maestro3, the sound module, which shares an interrupt with USB, but that didn't effect anything either. I've searched through this list archive, and this sort of problem pops up regularly, but I'm not quite sure how to troubleshoot further. Can anyone point me in the right direction? --Adam Kessel ---- [1] http://www.buzzard.org.uk/jonathan/scanners-usb.html [2] kernel config: http://bostoncoop.net/adam/temp/kernel-config [3] http://www.linux-usb.org/FAQ.html [4] At boot up: Local APIC disabled by BIOS -- reenabling.
