The kernel panics are troubling....

Another user who was asking me for advice discovered that his problems
went away when he commented out the "dll.conf" entries for all but the
correct backends (i.e. microtek, in his case).

I suspect that another backend (maybe microtek2?) was not being careful
enough in its device identification, and harassing his scanner and/or
scsi bus into a panic.

Oliver: you say "scanimage -L" only works when you are non-root. If it
only lists the pnm devices, then probably the /dev permissions
kept it from poking at the SCSI bus.

ps: with regards to the AVA-1502: evil crap. my quality-of-life while
doing scans has improved considerably since buying a US$80 Tekram
PCI scsi card (390U, with a NCR53c875 controller in it).
However, the original AVA-1502 *did* work while I used it.
