Hi everybody!<br>
<p>

<p>
I agree. We should keep it here on the list.<br>
<p>
<i>&gt;From the information I have received, it looks like it doesn't depend much on</i><br>
<i>&gt;the SCSI adaptor/subsystem. I have had reports from NCR53c400 and 53c810</i><br>
<i>&gt;plus some more which didn't tell me the adaptor. Can anyone confirm, that it</i><br>

<p>
Well, I can. I'm running the scanner on an Adaptec AHA-1542CF.<br>
It's the only device on that host adaptor, so a locked SCSI bus shouldn't be<br>
the problem.<br>
For all those in Germany: I have a description of how my scanner is set up on<br>
my homepage, URL <a href="http://home.t-online.de/home/ritzert">http://home.t-online.de/home/ritzert</a>.<br>
I will update it today to include a short report on this issue.<br>
<p>
<i>&gt;The first idea I had was that maybe something (the scanner) is hogging the </i><br>
<i>&gt;SCSI bus for too long and resetting fails. However the hang seems to be </i><br>
<i>&gt;real hard, as my /var partition resides on an IDE HD and should thus be </i><br>
<i>&gt;able to log, even if the SCSI-Bus hangs. But what I get is :</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt;Aug 17 17:15:15 gate kernel: Detected scsi generic sga at scsi0, channel 0, id</i><br>
<i>&gt;6, lun 0</i><br>
<i>&gt;Aug 17 17:17:50 gate kernel: Kernel logging (proc) started.</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt;I.e. no error messages between opening the device and the crash.</i><br>
<p>
This seems to be another common behaviour: There are no log entries in<br>
/var/log/messages that show that something went wrong.<br>
<p>
<p>
<i>&gt;We should investigate further, as the effect seems to have been introduced </i><br>
<i>&gt;by SANE. I have not seen such problems with mscan and muscan.</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt;Several possibilities for the cause come to my mind :</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt;- I will try to use the strip-height option to see, if disconnect times are</i><br>
<i>&gt; the problem. </i><br>
<p>
I've tried this and it works better now: the scanner doesn't hang in<br>
the middle of the page but at the end of it :-/<br>
<p>
<i>&gt;- Moreover it would be nice, if we could check if the problem is reproducible </i><br>
<i>&gt; for given parameter sets. So if you see such a hang, write down the command </i><br>
<i>&gt; line (for scanimage) and retry. If it reproducibly hangs, please post the </i><br>
<i>&gt; parameters, so we can cross-check and maybe find a rounding-error or </i><br>
<i>&gt; something the like in the code.</i><br>
<p>
Could everybody who has a Mustek scanner please try out this command:<br>
<p>
scanimage --device mustek:/dev/scanner -l 5 -t 5 -x 190 -y 270 --resolution 200<br>
--mode Lineart --speed Fastest<br>
<p>
This is how I first hit this problem.<br>
<p>
Ciao, Michael<br>
