Run the output through ksymoops and contact the linux kernel mailing list. But check the archives before, maybe it's already solved in a current kernel. It may well be triggered by the driver not expecting "big" buffers. However, i thought this kind of bug has been solved long time ago. Anyway, you could try seeting the environment variable SANE_SG_BUFFERSIZE to 32768 before running a SANE frontend to decrease the buffer size. Bye, Henning
