<i>&gt;</i><br>

<i>&gt;</i><br>

<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; My guess is that the scanner is SCSI 8 Bit, and I need to convince linux</i><br>
<i>&gt; to see the scanner.</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; Devices work past the scanner in the chain.</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; Trying to add debugging to the kernel (2.2.5-15) doesn't seem to help.</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; BTW I've seen this problem under RH 5.0, 5.1, 5.2, 6.0</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; SCSI cards:  Future domain 1801, Adaptec 2402 (?), Adaptec 1708.</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; I really want this puppy to work under linux.</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<p>
What does<br>
cat /proc/scsi/scsi say?<br>
<p>
Is the scanner in ready mode when the system boots?<br>
<p>
Turn on the scanner 2 minutes before you boot your system.<br>
<p>
Please keep me informed if the Umax Vista S8 works.<br>
<p>
Bye<br>
