Hello list, when I recently updated from Suse 8.2 (2.4er kernel) to Suse 9.1 with kernel 2.6.5, my scanner, a UMAX Astra 1220 S which had worked well troughout all the kernel-versons of the last years, was gone without the slightest trace. scanimage -L, sane-find-scanner and the other little helpers remainend silent about it. Maybe it's not a really sane-problem but a controller-problem. The controller in use is a Dawicontrol DC-2975-C which connected till now over the sym53c8xx/ncr53c8xx-module. The strange thing is that with the kernel 2.6.1 of the knoppix 3.4-distribution everthing works as usual. The Suse-Kernel still comes with the sym53c8xx-module, but something seems to be wrong with it. I wasn't very close to the list in the last few months, so perhaps I missed some relevant stuff - sorry if I ask those damn old questions. Is anybody out there who expierienced a similar kind of behaviour and has got a solution for it?
Thanks in advance Wolfram Heider
