Does the scanhead at least move a little bit? If so, then it might be
that the SCSI setup is wrong. In most cases the settings for
disconnect/reconnect cause this problem.

If not, can you provide a trace with SANE_DEBUG_MICROTEK2 and
SANE_DEBUG_SANEI_SCSI set to 30 (although I fear that the last lines
of trace will be missing, if the system freezes).
