<i>&gt; &gt; Simon&gt; (linuxppc users) have that kind of problem with little/big</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; Simon&gt; endian (eg. sound). I'll check with the Linux PowerPC team</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; Simon&gt; ...</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; Note that SANE is reported to work fine on SPARC Solaris, which is</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; big-endian.</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; The only endian-issues that I'm aware of is that if you try to scan</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; with &gt;8 bits/channel across the net-backend and the endianness between</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; the hosts differ, you'll lose. This is something that's easy to fix,</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; but I haven't had the chance to implement it yet.</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; Ok, so it looks like a problem with the scsi-card or driver or the sg driver.</i><br>
<i>&gt; I don`t know if the umax backend is ever tested on a big endian machine,</i><br>
<i>&gt; but if the inquiry command returns with an error I don't think it is a problem</i><br>
<i>&gt; with the umax backend.</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<p>
As I posted recently, if a problem with the sg driver is<br>
suspected then the user should download the utility and<br>
test program tarball from:<br>
<a href="http://www.torque.net/sg">http://www.torque.net/sg</a><br>
<p>
and run "sg_scan -i". This goes through ever SCSI<br>
device mapped to /dev/sg* and sends an INQUIRY command<br>
to it and outputs the result. That program should work<br>
on any linux kernel from from 2.0 to 2.3.8 . <br>
<p>
BTW The mapping of SCSI devices to /dev/sg* file names<br>
is in the same order as those devices appear in<br>
'cat /proc/scsi/scsi'.<br>
