I use a Snapscan 1236s with xsane on an i386 (K6-III/400, 256 MB,

scanner on an U2 (2xUltraSPARC-II/296 MHz, 2 GB, Happymeal-ESP, kernel
2.6.21-rc7), sane-find-scanner does not find any scanner but this
scanner is shown in /proc/scsi/scsi. Both stations run lenny.

OK after a quick check, this was discussed back in january 2003.

        I have seen this archive.

The Linux SG3 interface does not work properly when a 32bit app is
talking to a 64bit kernel.

Maybe. But with 2.6.20.3 kernel, on the same sparc, I can use this scanner (with libsane that comes with sarge), but system is not stable. I don't see any diff on sg driver between 2.6.20.3 and 2.6.21-rc7.

You can either:
 - try to do a 64bit build of sane-backends
 - try to use the old SG interface, if still exists/works

Unfortunately, both options are unfit for Debian; 64bit binaries would
require to rebuild all the dependency chain, and using the old SG
interface won't last long :/

        Thus, any issue or workaround ?
