I enabled device ss0 in the kernel config, recompiled, installed and rebooted but the scanner still seems to show up on device uk0.
uk0 at scsibus0 target 2 lun 0: <UMAX, Astra 1200S, V2.7> SCSI2 6/scanner fixed uk0: unknown device So now I have commented out the uk0 device and will recompile, install and reboot to see what that yields. (at least 4 tries later) Hmm, the uk0 device continues to grab the scanner even after commenting it out of the kernel config and making a new kernel. I physically removed it (well, deleted it) and rebooted. Still shows up in dmesg even though it no longer exists on the filesystem . . . . just re-created uk0 with MAKEDEV and scsictl associated it with the scanner right away. I guess rebooting with the scanner off or disconnected might clear this up?
