We have just upgraded from Win98 to Mandrake 9.1 on our computer that has a scanner attached to it. The pertinent hardware is as follows:
AMD K6-2 350 MHz Epox 51 MVP3E motherboard SIIG Fast SCSI Pro (AEC6712S without bios)(atp870u driver - module) UMAX 1220S with original cable The system recognizes the scanner. I have tailored the umax.conf file and dll.conf file and linked /dev/scanner to /dev/sg0 per sane documentation. When I start xsane or GIMP/xsane, the scanner is recognized. When I try to do a preview the light in the scanner comes on and nothing else happens. When I check the syslog file, the SCSI bus has timed out. When I kill xsane, the syslog file shows that the SCSI bus is reset. But the scanner cannot be found now. The atp870u module will not unload as it indicates that it is busy. I have to reboot to see the scanner again. I have not done any sane type of debugging. I have seen similar problems in the sane-devel archives but no absolute fixes. Can some one give me some help in finding the problem and getting this scanner to work under Linux.
