I would be very grateful for further details, since I am an amateur with a <similar|worse> problem. The problem is similar because Debian Etch (kernel 2.6.18) is looking for the firmware file in the wrong directory. The error message reads: /usr/share/iscan/esfw54.bin/esfw54.bin : Not a directory "esfw54.bin" is not a directory but a file and it is located in "/usr/share/iscan/" (with copies in a few other places - just in case the alternatives locations are easier to find) The problem is worse, because it is intermittent. Whenever I reboot the system, it is a gamble. Sometimes the scanner is found and sometimes I get the above error message. I have no problems if I choose to use Debian Sarge (kernel 2.6.8). All suggestions will be gratefully received. Felix Karpfen -- Felix Karpfen Public Key 72FDF9DF (DH/DSA) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
