Hi all. Only for the log. The problem was that Mandracke archives (tar cfz ...) the DevFS device-nodes in /dev during a shutdown and deflates them during reboot. So after adding an additional SCSI hard-disk the scanner's device-node (ID 6) hat the same scsi-generic minor number as the new hard-disk (ID 4). Because the scanner's old entry was extracted during system-boot.
This is a completely wrong useage of DevFS and also not supported by Richard Gooch. The quick fix is to create the right device-node manually like: cd /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target6/lun0/ rm generic mknod generic c 21 3 The major minor number have to adapted for your system's SCSI devices. For the right usage of DevFS (since 1998 ;-) you might take a look on ROCK Linux (http://www.rocklinux.org).
