Please e-mail any replies to  &lt;<a href="mailto:awr@stratos.net">awr@stratos.net</a>&gt; as well as the linux-scsi<br>
list.<br>
<p>
I am working on an INTEL 200 MHz Pentium with IDE drives and CDROM. <br>
<p>
I have read SCSI-HOWTO, man sane-scsi. I have searched dejanews, <br>
comp.os.linux.hardware, comp.os.linux.setup, and the redhat-list archives.<br>
No solution is obvious to me. The last I checked Microtek offered no linux<br>
help.<br>
<p>
I am not succeeding in getting the SCSI host adapter recognized. My RedHat<br>
install is out of the box and I believe SCSI modular support is enabled in<br>
the kernel since I get the following from 'modprobe'<br>
<p>
aw@teq:~&gt;modprobe -l -t scsi<br>
/lib/modules/2.0.31/scsi/wd7000.o<br>
/lib/modules/2.0.31/scsi/ultrastor.o<br>

/lib/modules/2.0.31/scsi/BusLogic.o<br>
/lib/modules/2.0.31/scsi/53c7,8xx.o<br>
<p>
<p>
I then do<br>
<p>
root@teq:&gt;insmod sg<br>
<p>
to enable the generic scsi module per the man page 'sane-scsi'<br>
<p>
After that <br>
<p>
aw@teq:~&gt;lsmod<br>
Module         Pages    Used by<br>
sg                 1            0<br>
autofs             2            1 (autoclean)<br>
ipx                3            9 (autoclean)<br>
vfat               3            1 (autoclean)<br>
<p>
tells me the generic scsi module 'sg' is loaded.<br>
<p>
Running RedHat's 'kernelcfg' program gives errors.<br>
<p>
Hence, I manually edited  /etc/conf.modules to include a line like<br>
<p>
alias scsi_host aha152x aha152x=0x140,9,7<br>
<p>
( NOTE  ioport=140 HEX   IRQ=9  and  card scsiid=7 )<br>
<p>
ALTERNATIVELY I tried a line like<br>
<p>
alias scsi_host sg<br>
<p>
to no avail. I could not find any syntax hints to tell sg the ioport etc.<br>
<p>
Running SANE's <br>
<p>
root@teq:/dev&gt;scanimage --list-devices<br>
[snapscan] add_device: failed to open scsi device "/dev/scanner".<br>
File open error: Operation not supported by device<br>
[snapscan] sane_snapscan_init: failed to add device "/dev/scanner"<br>
device `pnm:0' is a Noname PNM file reader virtual device<br>
device `pnm:1' is a Noname PNM file reader virtual device<br>
<p>
where I have tried all of the following<br>
<p>
/dev/scanner -&gt; /dev/sga, sgb, sgc, sgd, sge, sdf, sgg, sgh<br>
<p>
I am assuming since my scanner is at scsiid=1 that /dev/sgb should be the<br>
correct generic scsi device.<br>
<p>
<p>
Any help is appreciated, Allen<br>
