Hi! I have a SCSI scanner "Microtek ScanMaker 636" on an "Advance 2911U" hostadapter (using module "atp870u"). This scanner has been working with an older version and an onboard SCSI controllen without any problems.
Now (Kernel 2.4.18, SuSE Linux 8.0, xsane-0.83) I cannot get it working. (A ZIP drive on this hostadapter is working properly.) The scanner is terminated correctly. Yast2 identifies the scanner at /dev/sg15 correctly. But when trying to scan with xsane (or the Yast2 Testscan function) the scanner software hangs. The green led at the scanner turns off und even the ZIP drive doesn't work any more.... The hostadapter is dead.... I get the following output an the error console: May 25 18:43:55 lianli kernel: Vendor: IOMEGA Model: ZIP 100 Rev: E.08 May 25 18:43:55 lianli kernel: Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 May 25 18:43:55 lianli kernel: Vendor: Model: scanner V636A4 Rev: 1.00 May 25 18:43:55 lianli kernel: Type: Scanner ANSI SCSI revision: 02 May 25 18:43:55 lianli kernel: Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi1, channel 0, id 5, lun 0 May 25 18:43:56 lianli kernel: SCSI device sda: 196608 512-byte hdwr sectors (101 MB) May 25 18:43:56 lianli kernel: sda: Write Protect is off May 25 18:45:14 lianli kernel: scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 3756, scsi1, channel 0, id 6, lun 0 0x2a 00 81 00 00 00 00 00 09 00 May 25 18:45:14 lianli kernel: r3b=20 May 25 18:45:14 lianli kernel: May 25 18:46:14 lianli kernel: que cdb= 2a 0 81 0 0 0 0 0 9 0 last_lenu= 9 scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 3756, scsi1, channel 0, id 6, lun 0 0x2a 00 81 00 00 00 00 00 09 00 May 25 18:46:14 lianli kernel: r3b=20 May 25 18:46:14 lianli kernel: May 25 18:46:14 lianli kernel: que cdb= 2a 0 81 0 0 0 0 0 9 0 last_lenu= 9 SCSI host 1 abort (pid 3756) timed out - resetting May 25 18:46:14 lianli kernel: SCSI bus is being reset for host 1 channel 0.

Concerning my IDE CDROM drives I have the following settings (but even without ide-scsi the problem shows up): /etc/modules.conf: alias scsi_hostadapter atp870u alias scsi_hostadapter2 ide-scsi ... alias char-major-21 sg ... options ide-cd ignore='hdc hdd' pre-install sg modprobe ide-scsi Any ideas? Thanks for your help already!!! -- man liest sich... Nicolas Michael mailto:[email protected] http://www.nmichael.de/
