  Just to update you on the problem I am having with the HP5 and Adaptec scsi
  card.

  I have just installed the latest pre 1.0.5 sane front/back ends. Also, I
  have loaded the SG files into the /usr/src/linux tree. I then did the
  folowing, which I am not sure is correct, but form the info i've read
  seemed OK.

  cd /usr/src/linux
  make modules modules_install (this took a few hours, I run it overnight)

  There were no errors displayed. I then rebooted the machine with 'shutdown
  -r now'.

  On reboot, in console mode, I did,

  lsmod ( which showed the aic7xxx module installed but not the sg )
  rmmod aic7xxx
  insmod sg (this then displayed the scsi card paramaters and then showed the
  HP5 details
  with no errors )
  scanimage -T ( the scanner started thru its test and then stalled, ten or
  so minutes later
  returned the I/O error )

  lsmod ( showed that the aic7xxx and sg modules are now both listed in the
  scsi_mod module )

  I hope this makes sense as I am sending this from memory, I did the test
  this morning before work.

  Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on this problem.

  Dave
