&lt;snap&gt;<br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; &gt; The driver recognizes the scanner perfectly, but all tests fail</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; &gt; (scanimage -T) and scanning is impossible.</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; Do not run 'scanimage -T'. It fails, and leaves the SCSI driver and</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; the scanner in a funny state. You have to turn the scanner off and</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; on, and reload the scsi driver.</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; &gt; The driver does seem to send something to the scanner, since its led</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; &gt; starts flashing as soon as a preview, or a scan is attempted.</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; &gt; Are there any people who have actually made scans with this backend?</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; &gt; If so, what am I doing wrong?</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; I managed to get it going, so it is possible.</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; &gt; My configuration: Linux 2.2.6ac1</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; &gt; Initio INI9200UW SCSI controller(dual channel)</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; &gt; (scanner is the only device on the A channel)</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; &gt; SANE 1.0.1 (final)</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; You have a newer kernel then I tested with, and a different SCSI</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; controler, but none of that should make the scanning fail.</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; Try starting with a freshly rebooted machine (or reloaded scsi driver)</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; and scanner, and see if the problem is still there.</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; To get debug info, use 'SANE_DEBUG_SNAPSCAN=128 scanimage -L'.</i><br>
<p>
Well it does have something to do with the newer kernel I have :-). I<br>
just tried some "older" kernels, and found out that the backend just<br>
worked perfectly with every kernel below 2.2.5-ac1/ac2. So plain 2.2.5<br>
works.. I checked the changes files for the Alan Cox patches and found<br>
out that (surprise surprise!) some changes were made to the scsi generic<br>
code:<br>
<p>
------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
Differences between Linux 2.2.5ac1 and Linux 2.2.5ac2<br>
<p>
o Fixed the uid cache race again (me)<br>
o DaveM's tcp fix (DaveM)<br>
o EFS partition endian fixes (Al Smith)<br>
o SMP fixes for old EISA boxes (James<br>
Bottomley)<br>
o Ksymoops updates - please test on non x86 (Keith Owens)<br>
o Non blocking tty fix (Tobias<br>
Ringstrom)<br>
o SCSI generic updates (Douglas<br>
Gillbert)<br>
o Config updates (Axel Boldt)<br>
o IPv4 traffic equaliser (Guus Sliepen)<br>
o Soundscape Vivo fix (Walter Hunt)<br>
<p>
Differences between Linux 2.2.5 and Linux 2.2.5ac1<br>
<p>
o Large file arrays<br>
o AIC7xxx driver updated.<br>
o NFS client does write clustering and handles &gt;4K page servers<br>
well<br>
o PCI2000/PSI2200 compile fixed.<br>
o QlogicFC driver pdated.<br>
o V7 file system support in the SYS5 fs<br>
o Updated Sangoma drivers (in progress)<br>
o 2Gig memory support on the Alpha<br>
o ARM arch &amp; driver updates<br>
o I2O SCSI and Block OSM (experimental)<br>
o MCA updates<br>
o K6-II/III MTRR registers<br>
o Cleaned up MSR/TSC handling<br>
o MCD parameters settable in make config <br>
o IRDA updates - IRDA sockets<br>
o Roadrunner/HIPPI updates<br>
o Sealevel Wan card driver (experimental)<br>
o Sound fixes for mulaw<br>
o Experimental sound drivers for ESS Maestro PCI<br>
o 4bit VGA fbcon driver<br>
o Inode versioning<br>
o Lockd, NFSD updates<br>
o NTFS doesnt crash the machine on out of memory<br>
o Procfs readlink fix<br>
o Improved scsi generic<br>
o Misc small changes<br>
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
<p>
I'm not sure if these changes were incorporated in 2.2.6 (since I tested<br>
with 2.2.6-ac1, which surely had them...), but they are in the (just<br>
released) 2.2.7 kernel.<br>
I hope this is an easy to fix problem...<br>
