> # chmod -c 0777 /dev/sg1 Do you have to do this every single time? BTW, 0777 is misleading (though it will work), 0666 is correct. (Though it's probably a good idea to create a new group for the scanner and/or run saned if you have other SCSI devices connected to the computer.) > mode of `/dev/sg1' changed to 0777 (rwxrwxrwx) > # /sbin/insmod aha152x aha152x=0x140,9,7,0 You can either put the line "aha152x aha152x=0x140,9,7,0" in /etc/modules to have the module loaded at boot-time with the right parameters, or place a line "options aha152x aha152x=0x140,9,7,0" in /etc/modutils/aliases to tell insmod/modprobe which options to use when loading the module. Remember to run update-modules after modifying /etc/modutils/aliases. The filenames are correct on Debian systems, they might not be on your system, but the files should be pretty easy to find. (The update-modules stuff might not even exist on other systems, in which case you'll have to edit /etc/modules.conf instead, and it's not necessary to run anything afterwards.)
