I have just moved my scanner over to a new box and now scanimage -L reports no Sane devices.
System is a Dell poweredge 300 running an 800 mhz Intel coppermine and Mandrake 8.1 Scanner is AGFA Snapscan 1236s SCSI card is Adaptec AVA1505 The card and scanner are known to work just fine in an old DELL MMX 200 under Mandrake 8.0 Only other piece of hardware that the scanner hasn't worked with before seems to be a Lite On ATAPI CD burner. Guessing it may be a conflict I have searched the web but not found anything that I understand on this. The following is what I have done so far. Now I am stuck for ideas can someone point me in the direction of other things I need to check. The following is the response I get from the system:- Just booting the system only finds the CD Modprobe throws errors that I don't understand but does seem to load the module even though it gives an error message. Checking SCSI now shows the scanner installed sane-find-scanner correctly identifies the scanner scanimage says no sane devices. Sane backend points to /dev/sg1 changed permissions on /dev/sg1 to 777 just in case but makes no difference.
