I thought the kernel was recognizing the scanner, but after reading the boot messages more carefully, only the card was being detected. I checked the scanner in windows and it wasn't detected there either. So I dinked around with the hw and got things fixed. Scanner and card are now detected and running. Thanks!
When I boot, though, I get the scanner detection message, but I get messages detecting generic sga at scsi id 0, generic sgb at scsi id 1 ---generic sgf at scsi id 7. In /etc/lilo.conf, I force detection with append="aha152x=0x140,9,2" and my scanner has its scsi id set to 2. Any idea what's up with the extra scanner messages?

My scanner (hp sj3c) had to be turned on before the computer and completly warmed up before the kernel would detect it (meant turning on the scanner 3 minutes before booting linux!). Also make sure permissions for /dev/sg0 allow user or group access, or run find-scanner as root. ===== Amateur Radio, when all else fails! http://www.qsl.net/wa2mze Debian Gnu Linux, Live Free or ..... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
