<i>&gt; I recently rebuilt my kernel and found that I can't access the scsi-generic</i><br>
<i>&gt; device for the HP4C scanner. The scanner probes properly, but even as root</i><br>
<i>&gt; any access to the /dev/sga device gives "Permission denied" and thus </i><br>
<i>&gt; xscanimage can't open it, even as root. </i><br>
<p>
<i>&gt; pcmcia scsi interface. It all used to work perfectly, and I've been unable</i><br>
<i>&gt; to figure out what changed between then and now. :( </i><br>
Have you upgraded the kernel ?<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; Does anyone know if there is some circumstance under which the linux </i><br>
<i>&gt; scsi-generic driver will give "permission denied" even to root? </i><br>
Let's see linux/drivers/scsis/sg.c :<br>
<p>
if (O_RDWR!=(flags &amp; O_ACCMODE))<br>
return -EACCES; <br>
<p>
Probably improbable. I assume sane will open RW. But check it with strace.<br>
This is the only place I spotted where EACCES is returned. Maybe I missed<br>
something.<br>
