The long time looks like there are SCSI-related problems. What about "cat /proc/scsi/scsi"? Maybe you can check termination, cables etc. The two entries are ok, usually /dev/sga is a link to /dev/sg0. With "sane-find-scanner -v" you can check at which point the long waiting time occurs. > Then I executed xsane again and it gave me the "xsane: no devices > available" ONCE.

I don't think it's related to xsane or SANE in general. Are there other devices on this SCSI bus? Bye, Henning
