<EM>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Hi all,
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; I have been folowing the SANE and Mandrake saga. I have had sane

<EM>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; 1.0.4 installed and have only been able to scan gray mode. Color only
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; gives a IO problem. Mandrakes cooker now has version 1.0.5 of the
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; sane RPM's as well as version 0.78 of xsane. However, once I have
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; removed the old software and re-installed with the lastest version,
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; scanimage -V still reports 1.0.4. Is there a simple explanation?
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Also, after doing a scanimage -T, the prompt does not return and the
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; scanner light stays on for about ten minutes at which point the
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; prompt returns. Color test completes but does not return prompt
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; either. Previous version at least finished gray test?

<EM>&gt; &gt; &gt; Dave,
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; &gt; Will you be able to test your problem system using
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; &gt; the newer sg version 3.1.19 driver that I suggested
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; &gt; yesterday?

</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; The machine in question does not yet have the kernel source code
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; installed, so this is my first task. I have downloaded the file from the
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; matrix, sg3117_lk241.tgz, can you confirm this is the right file for a
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; 2.4.3-20 kernel and 6.1.8 current scsi driver.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; I have not yet done a kernel rebuild, so I am a bit nervous about doing
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; it without reading some instructions first. I have a red hat book which I
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; am studying at the moment...before trashing my system.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; I will let the mailing list know what happens.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; Thanks, Dave.

</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Having read about kernels etc, I am now even more wary about compiling the
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; module. Where do I untar the files from the sg site? Do I re-compile the
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; kernel? How do I compile the module and then use it. I have seen commands
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; like insmod, do I have to use these.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Any help would be appreciated as I am now even more confused...but willing
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; to give it a go!!!
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;

<EM>&gt; Dave,

<P><P>Just to update you on the problem I am having with the HP5 and Adaptec scsi
<BR>
card.
<BR>
<P>I have just installed the latest pre 1.0.5 sane front/back ends. Also, I
<BR>
have loaded the SG files into the /usr/src/linux tree. I then did the
<BR>
folowing, which I am not sure is correct, but form the info i've read
<BR>
seemed OK.
<BR>
<P>cd /usr/src/linux
<BR>
make modules modules_install (this took a few hours, I run it overnight)
<BR>
<P>There were no errors displayed. I then rebooted the machine with 'shutdown
<BR>
-r now'.
<BR>
<P>On reboot, in console mode, I did,
<BR>
<P>lsmod ( which showed the aic7xxx module installed but not the sg )
<BR>
rmmod aic7xxx
<BR>
insmod sg (this then displayed the scsi card paramaters and then showed the
<BR>
HP5 details
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;with no errors )
<BR>
scanimage -T ( the scanner started thru its test and then stalled, ten or
<BR>
so minutes later
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;returned the I/O error )
<BR>
<P>lsmod ( showed that the aic7xxx and sg modules are now both listed in the
<BR>
scsi_mod module )
<BR>
<P><P>I hope this makes sense as I am sending this from memory, I did the test
<BR>
this morning before work.
<BR>
<P>Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on this problem.
<BR>
<P>Dave
