<P>
Douglas,
<BR>
<P><EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Abel,
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; I forwarded the this post onto Juergen Fischer. Unfortunately
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; I'm probably getting a bit confused between the aha152x
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; [which is mainatined by Juergen] and the aha1542 [Eric
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Youngdale?].
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Anyway, which kernel version are you testing? Where does that
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &quot;--enable-scsibuffersize=32768&quot; go (is it backend specific)?
</EM><BR>
<P>I'm using 2.2.13 as distributed by Suse with their Linux 6.3 package.
<BR>
But the crash also occurs with a 2.2.14 kernel.
<BR>
<P>&quot;--enable-scsibuffersize&quot; is used within sanei_scsi.c, so that it
<BR>
applies to most backends for SCSI scanners. The exceptions are the Umax
<BR>
and the Sharp backends, which use a new call to select the SCSI buffer
<BR>
size during program runtime (sanei_scsi_open_extended instead of the old
<BR>
sanei_scsi_open). I introduced &quot;--enable-scsibuffersize&quot; so that one can
<BR>
change the default buffer size at installation time. Practically, it is
<BR>
a kind of replacement for the old SG_BIG_BUFF: The Sane SCSI library has
<BR>
an internal static variable sanei_scsi_max_request_size, which was
<BR>
initialized to SG_BIG_BUFF. Since this constant does not make much sense
<BR>
with the new SG driver, I replaced it with the configure option; you can
<BR>
also set the environment variable SANE_SG_BUFFERSIZE to change the
<BR>
maximum buffer size. (Sorry, forgot to mention the latter option in my
<BR>
last mail.)
<BR>
<P><EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; I have a aha1542b, a UMAX 1220S and sane 1.0.2 installed.
</EM><BR>
<P>The Umax backend is not the most trivial piece of software; while it
<BR>
tries to allocate a SCSI buffer of 128 kB when opening the SG file, I
<BR>
could not figure out, how much data is actually transferred with a
<BR>
single SCSI command. (Oliver, can you give a hint??)
